Measurement of ${\rm Y}$(1S+2S+3S) production in $p$$+$$p$ and Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{{}_{NN}}}=200$ GeV

Abstract

Measurements of bottomonium production in heavy ion and $p$$+$$p$ collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are presented. The inclusive yield of the three ${\rm Y}$ states, ${\rm Y}(1S+2S+3S)$, was measured in the PHENIX experiment via electron-positron decay pairs at midrapidity for Au$+$Au and $p$$+$$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{{}_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The ${\rm Y}(1S+2S+3S)\to e^{+}{e}^{-}$ differential cross section at midrapidity was found to be $B_{\mathrm{ee}}d\sigma /dy=$ 108 $\pm$ 38 (stat) $\pm$ 15(syst) $\pm$ 11 (luminosity) pb in $p$$+$$p$ collisions. The nuclear modification factor in the 30\% most central Au$+$Au collisions indicates a suppression of the total ${\rm Y}$ state yield relative to the extrapolation from $p$$+$$p$ collision data. The suppression is consistent with measurements made by STAR at RHIC and at higher energies by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.
