Abstract

The production of χ_b mesons in proton-proton collisions is studied using a data sample collected by the LHCb detector, at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 7 and 8TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb⁻¹. The χ_b mesons are identified through their decays to ϒ(1S)γ and ϒ(2S)γ using photons that converted to e⁺e⁻pairs in the detector. The relative prompt production rate of χ_b1(1P) and χ_b2(1P) mesons is measured as a function of the ϒ(1S) transverse momentum in the χ_brapidity range 2.0 < y < 4.5. A precise measurement of the χ_b(3P) mass is also performed. Assuming a mass splitting between the χ_b1(3P) and the χ_b2(3P) states of 10.5 MeV/c², the measured mass of the χ_b1(3P) meson is m(χ_b1(3P)) = 10515.7^+2.2_−3.9(stat)^+1.5 _−2.1(syst)MeV/c².
