Search for the decay B± [going to] [chi] cK± at CDF / Search for the decay B plus or minus going to chi cK plus or minus at CDF.

$B sp pm$ mesons are reconstructed through the decay chain $B sp pm to chi sb{c}K sp pm, chi sb{c} to J/ psi gamma,$ and $J/ psi to mu sp+ mu sp-.$ Using data taken at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in $ bar pp$ collisions at $ sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV during the 1988/89 run, we have seen the signal of the $B sp pm$ mesons from this decay channel although the statistics still need to be improved. By Monte Carlo methods, we also conclude that it is possible to resolve the individual $ chi sb{c1}$ and $ chi sb{c2}$ states by making higher photon energy cuts.
