The χb(1P ) mesons are reconstructed in the decay mode χ b (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 < pT 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+2.7−5.4)% , 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.15 p.application/pdfengcc by (c) LHCb Collaboration, 2012http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/HadronsGran Col·lisionador d'HadronsTeoria quànticaGravitacióTeoria quàntica de campsHadronsLarge Hadron Collider (France and Switzerland)Quantum theoryGravitationQuantum field theoryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6196362014-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
