Study of Inclusive Production of Charmonium Mesons in B Decay

The inclusive production of charmonium mesons in B meson decay has been studied in a 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ data set collected by the BaBar experiment operating at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. Branching fractions have been measured for the inclusive production of the charmonium mesons $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\chi_{c1}$, and $\chi_{c2}$. The branching fractions are also presented as a function of the center-of-mass momentum of the mesons and of the helicity of the $J/\psi$.
