  In the present paper, we discuss the $P$-wave bottomonium production within
the both color octet and color singlet models in NLO at LHC energies. We
calculate the production and the transverse momentum distributions of the
$\chi_{1,2b}$ states. We found, that the ratios of bottomonium and charmonium
spin states are fundamentally complementary at different $p_T$ scales. We give
predictions for the ratio of the $n=2$ and $n=1$ radial excitations production
cross sections.
