Probing the medium-induced energy loss of bottom quarks by dimuon production in heavy ion collisions at LHC

Abstract

The potential of coming experiments on Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to observe the rescattering and energy loss of heavy quarks in the dense matter created in heavy ion collisions is discussed. We analyze the sensitivity of high-mass mu+mu- pairs from BBbar semileptonic decays and secondary J/Psi from single B decays to the medium-induced bottom quark energy loss.
