Observation of the $ \Upsilon $(3S) meson and suppression of $ \Upsilon $ states in PbPb collisions at $ \sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV
Phys. Rev. Lett. 133 (2024) 022302
Abstract: The production of $ \Upsilon $(2S) and $ \Upsilon $(3S) mesons in lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions is studied in their dimuon decay channel using the CMS detector at the LHC. The $ \Upsilon $(3S) meson is observed for the first time in PbPb collisions, with a significance above five standard deviations. The ratios of yields measured in PbPb and pp collisions are reported for both the $ \Upsilon $(2S) and $ \Upsilon $(3S) mesons, as functions of transverse momentum and PbPb collision centrality. These ratios, when appropriately scaled, are significantly less than unity, indicating a suppression of $ \Upsilon $ yields in PbPb collisions. This suppression increases from peripheral to central PbPb collisions. Furthermore, the suppression is stronger for $ \Upsilon $(3S) mesons compared to $ \Upsilon $(2S) mesons, extending the pattern of sequential suppression of quarkonium states in nuclear collisions previously seen for the J/$\psi$, $\psi$(2S), $ \Upsilon $(1S), and $ \Upsilon $(2S) mesons.

Summary
In summary, data from PbPb and pp collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $ \sqrt{\smash[b]{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV, collected with the CMS detector, were analyzed to measure the yields and nuclear modification factors, $ R_\text{AA} $, of the $ \Upsilon $(2S) and $ \Upsilon $(3S) mesons. The $ \Upsilon $(3S) meson is observed for the first time in PbPb collisions, with a significance above five standard deviations. Dividing the $ \Upsilon $(3S) over $ \Upsilon $(2S) yield ratios in PbPb by those in pp collisions gives the double ratios that quantify the relative modification of the two mesons. Results are shown as functions of $ \Upsilon $ transverse momentum and PbPb collision centrality. Both the $ \Upsilon $(2S) and $ \Upsilon $(3S) mesons are suppressed ($ R_\text{AA} < $ 1), with a stronger effect for the $ \Upsilon $(3S). The suppression increases for more central PbPb collisions, whereas no significant dependence on $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ is seen. The $ \Upsilon $(3S) over $ \Upsilon $(2S) double ratios show no significant dependence on $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $, indicating that the degree to which the suppression is stronger for the $ \Upsilon $(3S) meson is constant over the studied $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ region. Combined with previous measurements, these results indicate that the strength of the suppression increases in the sequence $ \Upsilon $(1S), $ \Upsilon $(2S), and $ \Upsilon $(3S). These results provide new constraints on the understanding of the dynamics of quarkonium states in the QGP created in heavy ion collisions.
