Abstract
The relative rates of B-meson decays into J/ψ
and ψ(2S) mesons are measured for the three decay modes
in pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. The ratios
of branching fractions (B) are measured to be

B(B+→J/ψK+)
= 0.594±0.006(stat)±0.016(syst)±0.015(Rψ),

where the third uncertainty is from the ratio of the ψ(2S)
and J/ψ branching fractions to μ
