We report searches for the processes e+ e- → π+ π- π0χbJ and e+ e- → ΦχbJ (J = 1,2) based on data samples collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB collider. We report the first observation of the process e+ e-- → ( π+ π- π0) non - ω χ b1 and first evidence for e+ e- → ωχbJ in the vicinity of the Υ(11020 ) resonance, with center-of-mass energies from 10.96 to 11.05 GeV. The significances for ( π + π - π 0 ) non - ω χ b 1 and ω χ b J are greater than 5.3 σ and 4.0 σ , respectively. We also investigate the energy dependence of the e+ e-→ π+ π- π0 χbJ cross section, but we cannot determine whether the contributions are from the Υ (10860) and Υ (11020) resonances or nonresonant continuum processes. The signals for e+ e- → ΦχbJ are not significant, and the upper limits of the Born cross sections at the 90% confidence level are 0.7 and 1.0 pb for e+ e- → Φχb1 and Φχb2, respectively, for center-of-mass energies from 10.96 to 11.05 GeV.
