Statistical hadronization of b-quarks in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energy: a case for partial equilibration of b-quarks?

Abstract

Predictions are presented within the framework of the statistical hadronization model for integrated yields of bottomonia in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. We investigate the centrality dependence of ${\rm Y}$ production and provide predictions for a large set of still-unmeasured open-beauty hadrons.
