Bottomonia in the Quark Gluon Plasma

Understand

I review recent calculations of the suppression of bottomonium states in heavy ion collisions.

• A non-relativistic potential is used which is complex valued.
• This allows one to extract the binding energies and decay widths of the ground and excited states of bottomonium as a function of the typical plasma particle momentum and momentum-space anisotropy.
• The decay widths determined are used as input and integrated over space-time taking into account the dynamical evolution of the typical particle momentum and momentum-space anisotropy.
