    Centrality and transverse momentum dependent suppression of and in p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
    (Springer, 2019-02) Mishra, Madhukar
    Deconfined QCD matter in heavy-ion collisions has been a topic of paramount interest for many years. Quarkonia suppression in heavy-ion collisions at the relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments indicate the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation in such collisions. Recent experiments at LHC have given indications of hot matter effect in asymmetric p–Pb nuclear collisions. Here, we employ a theoretical model to investigate the bottomonium suppression in Pb–Pb at , 5.02 TeV, and in p–Pb at TeV center-of-mass energies under a QGP formation scenario. Our present formulation is based on an unified model consisting of suppression due to color screening, gluonic dissociation along with the collisional damping. Regeneration due to correlated pairs has also been taken into account in the current work. We obtain here the net bottomonium suppression in terms of survival probability under the combined effect of suppression plus regeneration in the deconfined QGP medium. We mainly concentrate here on the centrality, and transverse momentum, dependence of and states suppression in Pb–Pb and p–Pb collisions at mid-rapidity. We compare our model predictions for and suppression with the corresponding experimental data obtained at the LHC energies. We find that the experimental observations on and dependent suppression agree reasonably well with our model predictions

    Bottomonium suppression in PbPb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
    (APS, 2021-09) Mishra, Madhukar
    High energy collisions are the laboratories within our reach to study strongly interacting matter under extreme temperatures. In the present study, we use a quarkonia suppression scheme to explain the bottomonium production at the two energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We employ echo-qgp to model the (3+1)-dimensional relativistic viscous hydrodynamic evolution of the medium. Bottomonia produced in the early stage dissociates due to color screening, gluonic dissociation, and collisional damping in addition to shadowing as an initial state effect. In the color screening mechanism, the temperature from hydrodynamics is used to find the screening radii at each centrality and rapidity. The shadowing effect utilizes the parton distribution functions obtained from the CT14 global analysis and shadowing factors from EPPS16. A lattice QCD based equation of state from the Wuppertal-Budapest Collaboration has been used. The experimental values of pion (π+) spectra were used to constrain the initial conditions of the dynamics. The bottomonium suppression is determined as a function of centrality, transverse momentum, and rapidity for Υ(1S) and Υ(2S) states at the LHC energies of 2.76 and 5.02TeV. We find a fairly good agreement between our theoretically calculated survival probability and the measured nuclear modification factor (RAA) at the two energies.
