Production of ${\rm Y}(\text{nS})$ mesons in Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions at 5.02 TeV

Abstract

A measurement of the production of vector bottomonium states, ${\rm Y}(\text{1S})$, ${\rm Y}(\text{2S})$, and ${\rm Y}(\text{3S})$, in Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV is presented. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of 1.38~${\text{nb}}^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb data collected in 2018, 0.44 ${\text{nb}}^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb data collected in 2015, and 0.26 ${\text{fb}}^{-1}$ of $pp$ data collected in 2017 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are performed in the dimuon decay channel for transverse momentum $p_{\text{T}}^{\mu \mu }<30$~ GeV, absolute rapidity $|y^{\mu \mu }|<1.5$, and Pb+Pb event centrality 0-80%. The production rates of the three bottomonium states in Pb+Pb collisions are compared with those in $pp$ collisions to extract the nuclear modification factors as functions of event centrality, $p_{\text{T}}^{\mu \mu }$, and $|y^{\mu \mu }|$. In addition, the suppression of the excited states relative to the ground state is studied. The results are compared with theoretical model calculations.
