Abstract

The production of χb(1P) mesons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is studied using 32 pb^−1 of data collected with the LHCb detector. The χb(1P) mesons are reconstructed in the decay mode χb(1P) → ϒ(1S) γ → μ+ μ− γ. The fraction of ϒ(1S) originating from χb(1P) decays in the ϒ(1S) transverse momentum range 6 < p_T^ϒ(1S) < 15 GeV/c and rapidity range 2.0 < y^Υ(1S) < 4.5 is measured to be (20.7 ± 5.7 ± 2.1_{−5.4}^{+2.7})%, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the last gives the range of the result due to the unknown ϒ(1S) and χb(1P) polarizations.
