Prompt production of charmonium χ[subscript c0], χ[subscript c1] and χ[subscript c2] mesons is studied using proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV. The χ[subscript c] mesons are identified through their decay to J/ψγ, with J/ψ → μ[superscript +]μ[superscript −] using photons that converted in the detector. A data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb[superscript −1] collected by the LHCb detector, is used to measure the relative prompt production rate of χ[subscript c1] and χ[subscript c2] in the rapidity range 2.0 < y < 4.5 as a function of the J/ψ transverse momentum from 3 to 20 GeV/c. First evidence for χ[subscript c0] meson production at a high-energy hadron collider is also presented.
