Bottomonia in the Quark Gluon Plasma

Abstract. I review recent calculations of the suppression of bottomonium states in heavy ion collisions. A non-relativistic potential is used which is complex valued. This allows one to extract the binding energies and decay widths of the ground and excited states of bottomonium as a function of the typical plasma particle momentum and momentum-space anisotropy. The decay widths determined are used as input and integrated over space-time taking into account the dynamical evolution of the typical particle momentum and momentum-space anisotropy. The suppression of Υ(1s), Υ(2s), Υ(3s), χb1, and χb2 is obtained as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum. The obtained results are compared with data from the STAR and CMS collaborations. 1
