Abstract (data abstract)
CERN-LHC. The production of $\chi_b(1P)$ mesons in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV is studied using $32$ pb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the LHCb detector. The $\chi_b(1P)$ mesons are reconstructed in the decay mode $\chi_b(1P) \to \Upsilon(1S) \gamma \to \mu \mu \gamma$. The fraction of $\Upsilon(1S)$ originating from $\chi_b(1P)$ decays in the $\Upsilon(1S)$ transverse momentum range $6 < p_T^{\Upsilon(1S)} < 15$ GeV/c and rapidity range $2.0 < y^{\Upsilon(1S)} < 4.5$ is measured to be $(20.7\pm 5.7\pm 2.1^{+2.7}_{-5.4})~\%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the last gives the range of the result due to the unknown $\Upsilon(1S)$ and $\chi_b(1P)$ polarizations.
