Abstract

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 350 MeVT<1000 MeV350~{\rm MeV}\le T < 1000 ~{\rm MeV}, and perform our calculations on three different lattice spacings to control the lattice cut-off effects, corresponding to temporal lattice extent of Nτ=8,10,12N_\tau=8,10,12. From a detailed study of the temperature dependence of screening masses we conclude that while the ηb(1S)\eta_b(1S) and Υ(1S)\Upsilon(1S) states melt at T>500T>500 MeV, the scalar and axial-vector states χb0(1P)\chi_{b0}(1P) and hb(1P)h_b(1P) melt already at T>350T>350 MeV.
