RT Journal Article T1 Measurement of the χ b (3P) mass and of the relative rate of χ b1(1P) and χ b2(1P) production A1 LHCb Collaboration, A1 Adeva Andany, Bernardo A1 Álvarez Cartelle, Paula A1 Dosil Suárez, Álvaro A1 Fernández Albor, Víctor Manuel A1 Gallas Torreira, Abraham Antonio A1 García Pardiñas, Julián A1 Hernando Morata, José Ángel A1 Plo Casasus, Máximo A1 Romero Vidal, Antonio A1 Saborido Silva, Juan José A1 Sanmartín Sedes, Brais A1 Santamarina Ríos, Cibrán A1 Vázquez Regueiro, Pablo A1 Vázquez Sierra, Carlos A1 Vieites Díaz, María K1 Quarkonium K1 Hadron-Hadron Scattering K1 Flavor physics AB The production of b mesons in proton-proton collisions is studied using a datasample collected by the LHCb detector, at centre-of-mass energies ofps = 7 and 8TeVand corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1. The b mesons are identifiedthrough their decays to (1S) and (2S) using photons that converted to e+e− pairsin the detector. The relative prompt production rate of b1(1P) and b2(1P) mesonsis measured as a function of the (1S) transverse momentum in the b rapidity range2.0 < y < 4.5. A precise measurement of the b(3P) mass is also performed. Assuming amass splitting between the b1(3P) and the b2(3P) states of 10.5 MeV/c2, the measuredmass of the b1(3P) meson ism( b1(3P)) = 10515.7+2.2−3.9(stat)+1.5−2.1(syst)MeV/c2.
