Heavy quark state production in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02 TeV

We estimate differential rapidity cross sections for $J/\Psi$, $\Psi(2S)$, $\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$, and $\Upsilon(3S)$ production via Pb-Pb collisions at proton-proton energy $\equiv \sqrt{s_{pp}}$ =5.02 TeV. For the $\Psi(2S)$, $\Upsilon(3S)$ states we use the mixed heavy quark hyrid theory, with these states being approximately 50\% standard and 50\% hybrid charmonium, bottomonium meson states. This is an extension of previous work on heavy quark state production via Cu-Cu and Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{pp}}$=200 GeV.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1309.5374, arXiv:1411.368

Quarkonia production at forward rapidity in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=2.76\bf \sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector

The study of formation of heavy quarkonia in relativistic heavy ion collisions provides important insight into the properties of the produced high density QCD medium. Lattice QCD studies show sequential suppression of quarkonia states with increasing temperature; which affirms that a full spectroscopy, can provide us a thermometer for the matter produced under extreme conditions in relativistic heavy ion collisions and one of the most direct probes of de-confinement. Muons from the decay of charmonium resonances are detected in ALICE Experiment in p+p and Pb+Pb collisions with a muon spectrometer, covering the forward rapidity region($2.5<y<4$). The analysis of the inclusive J/$\psi$ production in the first Pb+Pb data collected in the fall 2010 at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV is discussed. Preliminary results on the nuclear modification factor ($R_{AA}$) and the central to peripheral nuclear modification factor ($R_{CP}$) are presented.Comment: 2 figures.
