InclusiveJ/ψ production in decays ofB mesons

The production ofJ/ψ inB meson decays has been measured on the Γ(4S) resonance using the Crystal Ball detector at thee+e− storage ring DORIS II. TheJ/ψ is identified by itse+e− decay mode. We obtain a branching ratio of BR(B→J/ψX)=(1.12±0.33±0.25)% in good agreement with theoretical predictions based on color suppression. TheJ/ψ momentum distribution is observed to be peaked at high values. This implies a substantial contribution from directB meson decays to theJ/ψ. In addition upper limits onJ/ψ production in Γ(1S) and Γ(2S) decays and in continuum processes are determined.
