Thermal Bottomonium Suppression

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-05 v3 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

I discuss recent calculations of the thermal suppression of bottomonium states in relativistic heavy ion collisions. I present results for the inclusive Upsilon(1s) and Upsilon(2s) suppression as a function of centrality. I compare with recent preliminary CMS data available at central rapidities and make predictions at forward rapidities which are within the acceptance of the ALICE dimuon spectrometer.
