Beschreibung

Measurements of bottomonium states in heavy-ion collisions provide a powerful tool to study both initial-state effects on heavy-quark production and final-state interactions between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The ATLAS experiment at LHC has measured the production of bottomonium states Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S), in Pb+Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of 1.38 nb1 of Pb+Pb data collected in 2018, 0.44 nb1 of Pb+Pb data collected in 2015, and 0.26 fb1 of pp data collected in 2017. The final ATLAS result on the production of three bottomonium states will be reported. The measurement in Pb+Pb collisions is compared to that in pp collisions to extract the nuclear modification factor, RAA, as a function of event centrality, pT and rapidity, and compared to several theoretical models. We will also present a new measurement studying the relationship between the production of hard and soft particles through the correlation of Upsilon meson states with the inclusive-charged particle yields. The analysis is performed using the full-luminosity ATLAS Run-2 13 TeV pp data. A description of the technical challenges associated with a heavy-ion style analysis in high-pileup pp data will be shown, as well as the results and their physics implications.
