We study the bottomonium screening masses in a 2+1 flavor QCD medium on the lattice using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark(HISQ) discretization for the quarks. We focus on a wide temperature range in the region 350MeV≤T<1000MeV, and perform our calculations on three different lattice spacings to control the lattice cut-off effects, corresponding to temporal lattice extent of Nτ=8,10,12. From a detailed study of the temperature dependence of screening masses we conclude that while the ηb(1S) and Υ(1S) states melt at T>500 MeV, the scalar and axial-vector states χb0(1P) and hb(1P) melt already at T>350 MeV.
