The two states are measured via their radiative decays chi(c) to J/psi + gamma, with the photon converting into a dielectron pair for J/psi rapidity abs(y(J/psi)) < 1.0 and photon transverse momentum pt(gamma) > 0.5 GeV. The measurement is given for six intervals of pt(J/psi) between 7 and 25 GeV. The results are compared to theoretical predictions.engMeasurement of the relative prompt production rate of chi(c2) and chi(c1) in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeVjournal article2019-02-03
