Thermal Upsilon(1s) and chib1 suppression in sqrt(sNN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC
Abstract
I compute the thermal suppression of the Upsilon(1s) and chib1 states in sqrt(sNN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions. Using the suppression of each of these states I estimate the total RAA for the Upsilon(1s) state as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum. I find less suppression of the chib1 state than would be traditionally assumed; however, my final results for the total Upsilon(1s) suppression are in good agreement with recent preliminary CMS data.
