Abstract: (arXiv)
This paper is devoted to the leading twist exclusive bottomonia decays with double charmonium in the final state. Using models of the twist-2 charmonia distribution amplitudes the widths of these decays are calculated within light cone formalism. In addition, the processes under consideration are studied within nonrelativistic QCD. In our analysis we have found that the production of some of the PP-wave charmonia mesons with Lz0L_z \neq 0 is allowed already at the leading twist approximation. This means that the selection rules which predict the suppression of such decays are violated. The mechanism which lies behind this violation is discussed.
