Abstract

The inclusive production of charmonium mesons in B meson decay has been studied in a 20.3 fb^\mathrm\ensuremath-1 data set collected by the BABAR experiment operating at the \ensuremathΥ(4S) resonance. Branching fractions have been measured for the inclusive production of the charmonium mesons J/\ensuremathψ, \ensuremathψ(2S), \ensuremathχ_c1, and \ensuremathχ_c2. The branching fractions are also presented as a function of the center-of-mass momentum of the mesons and of the helicity of the J/\ensuremathψ.
