abstract
Prompt production of charmonium $\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ mesons is studied using proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=7$TeV. The $\chi_{c}$ mesons are identified through their decay to $J/\psi\gamma$, with $J/\psi\to\mu^+\mu^-$ using photons that converted in the detector. A data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb detector, is used to measure the relative prompt production rate of $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ in the rapidity range $2.0<y<4.5$ as a function of the $J/\psi$ transverse momentum from 3 to 20 GeV$/c$. First evidence for $\chi_{c0}$ meson production at a high-energy hadron collider is also presented.

Calculations of excitation functions, momentum spectra, and transparency ratios for χ_c1(1P) on 12C and 184W nuclei demonstrate sensitivity to different absorption cross-section scenarios, proposed for extraction via future CEBAF data.
Upper limits of 2.9×10^{-6} for B_s^0 and 2.5×10^{-6} for B^0 on the branching fractions to J/ψγ at 90% CL, with the B_s limit improved by a factor of 2.5.
