Bottomonium suppression and elliptic flow from real-time quantum evolution
Abstract
We compute the suppression and elliptic flow of bottomonium using real-time solutions to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a realistic in-medium complex-valued potential. To model the initial production, we assume that, in the limit of heavy quark masses, the wave-function can be described by a lattice-smeared (Gaussian) Dirac delta wave-function. The resulting final-state quantum-mechanical overlaps provide the survival probability of all bottomonium eigenstates. Our results are in good agreement with available data for as a function of and collected at 5.02 TeV. In the case of for the various states, we find that the path-length dependence of suppression results in quite small for . Our prediction for the integrated elliptic flow for in the % centrality class is . We additionally find that, due to their increased suppression, excited bottomonium states have a larger elliptic flow and we make predictions for and as a function of centrality and transverse momentum. Similar to prior studies, we find that it is possible for bottomonium states to have negative at low transverse momentum.
