Abstract
Based on \ThreeS events collected with the \babar\ detector, we have observed the \OneDJ bottomonium state through the decay chain.The significance for the member of the \OneDJ triplet is 5.8 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties.The mass of the state is determined to be ~\mevcc.We use the invariant mass distribution to confirm the consistency of the observed state with the orbital angular momentum assignment of the \OneDJ.
