Thermal Bottomonium Suppression

Abstract

I discuss recent calculations of the thermal suppression of bottomonium states in relativistic heavy ion collisions. I present results for the inclusive Upsilon(1s) and Upsilon(2s) suppression as a function of centrality. I compare with recent preliminary CMS data available at central rapidities and make predictions at forward rapidities which are within the acceptance of the ALICE dimuon spectrometer.

Comments: 6 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings contribution for Hadrons XII; v3 - update references, include prediction for rapidity dependence of Y(1s) production
