    A measurement of the production of vector bottomonium states, Υ ( 1S ) , Υ ( 2S ) , and Υ ( 3S ) , in Pb + Pb and p p collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV is presented. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of 1.38 nb − 1 of Pb + Pb data collected in 2018, 0.44 nb − 1 of Pb + Pb data collected in 2015, and 0.26 fb − 1 of p p data collected in 2017 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are performed in the dimuon decay channel for transverse momentum p μ μ T < 30 GeV , absolute rapidity | y μ μ | < 1.5 , and Pb + Pb event centrality 0–80%. The production rates of the three bottomonium states in Pb + Pb collisions are compared with those in p p collisions to extract the nuclear modification factors as functions of event centrality, p μ μ T , and | y μ μ | . In addition, the suppression of the excited states relative to the ground state is studied. The results are compared with theoretical model calculations

    A measurement of the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector in 2009 and 2012 is performed using inclusive decays of the J/ψ. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2009 is recalculated to be (223.7 ± 1.4) × 106, which is in good agreement with the previous measurement, but with significantly improved precision due to improvements in the BESIII software. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2012 is determined to be (1086.9 ± 6.0) × 106. In total, the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector is measured to be (1310.6 ± 7.0) × 106, where the uncertainty is dominated by systematic effects and the statistical uncertainty is negligible
