We report inclusive and exclusive measurements for χc1 and χc2 production in B decays. We measure B(B→χc1X) = (3.03 ± 0.05(stat) ± 0.24(syst)) × 10–3 and B(B→χc2X) = (0.70 ± 0.06(stat) ± 0.10(syst)) × 10–3. For the first time, χc2 production in exclusive B decays in the modes B0→χc2πK+ and B+→χc2π+πK+ has been observed, along with first evidence for the B+→χc2π+K$$^{0}_{S}$$ decay mode. For χc1 production, we report the first observation in the B+→χc1π+πK+, B0→χc1π+πK$$^{0}_{S}$$ and B0→χc1π0πK+ decay modes. Using these decay modes, we observe a difference in the production mechanism of χc2 in comparison to χc1 in B decays. In addition, we report searches for X(3872) and χc1(2P) in the B+→(χc1π+π)K+ decay mode. In conclusion, the reported results use 772 × 106 BB¯ events collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e collider.
