Thermal bottomonium suppression at RHIC and LHC

In this paper we consider the suppression of bottomonium states in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. We compute the suppression as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum for the states image, image, image, image, and image. Using this information, we then compute the inclusive image suppression as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum including feed down effects. Calculations are performed for both RHIC image Au–Au collisions and LHC image Pb–Pb collisions. From the comparison of our theoretical results with data available from the STAR and CMS Collaborations we are able to constrain the shear viscosity to entropy ratio to be in the range image. Our results are consistent with the creation of a high temperature quark–gluon plasma at both RHIC and LHC collision energies.
