Using a final state interaction model which describes the data on these two observables, at RHIC, we make predictions at the LHC -- using the same cross-section and pT-shift. The increase in the medium density between these two energies (by…
Based on the non-relativistic QCD factorization scheme, we study the hadroproduction of the bottomonium states $\Upsilon(5S)$ and $\Upsilon(6S)$. We argue to search for them in the final states $\Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)\pi^+\pi^-$, which are…
