The measurement is performed on the combined 2011 and 2012 datasets. According to theory prediction, where this ratio is variates in range from 0.4 to 0.7, follows that χb1(3P) mass is in the range between 10.504 and 10.514 GeV/c2. 24/34

particles originating from χb decays, most systematic uncertainties cancel in the ratio and only residual effects need to be taken into account. Systematic uncertainties on the event yields are mostly due to the fit model of Υ and χb invariant masses, while the ones on the efficiency are due to the photon reconstruction and the unknown initial polarization of χb and Υ particles. 28/34

ΘΥ angle between the directions of the µ+ in the Υ rest frame and the Υ in the χb rest frame. Θχb angle between the directions of the Υ in the χb rest frame and χb in the lab frame. φ angle between the Υ decay plane in the χb rest frame and the plane formed by χb direction in the lab frame and the direction of the Υ in the χb rest frame.
