Abstract:
The decays χb0,2ψψ\chi_{b0,2}\to\psi\psi and χb0,2ψψ2(μ+μ)\chi_{b0,2}\to\psi\psi\to2(\mu^+\mu^-) are considered. It is shown that with the help of ψ\psi-meson angular distributions and the distributions by final muon kinematical variables it is possible to determine the spin of the decaying χb\chi_b-meson. These distributions can also give an additional information about ψ\psi-meson wave functions.
