Contribution

It presents new calculations of bottomonium suppression across different rapidities and compares them with CMS data, offering predictions for ALICE.

Findings

Upsilon(1s) and Upsilon(2s) suppression vary with collision centrality

Theoretical results align with CMS preliminary data at central rapidities

Predictions are made for forward rapidity measurements in ALICE

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.
