Upsilon Measurements by the PHENIX Collaboration

Abstract

PHENIX has measured ${\rm Y}$ production in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV. A baseline cross-section measurement has been made in p+p collisions. Preliminary studies of d+Au collisions found no suppression in the backward direction, but suppression was observed in the forward direction indicating the presence of cold nuclear matter effects. In Au+Au collisions preliminary studies of ${\rm Y}$ production at mid-rapidity found hints of suppression.
