Description
We compute for the first time the suppression of bottomonia in a strongly-coupled QGP and compare the results to those from a weakly-coupled QGP. Using imaginary time techniques we numerically determine the real and imaginary parts of the binding energy of the bottomonia in a potential computed from AdS/CFT and one from pQCD. We then use these binding energies in a suppression model to determine the Y(1S) and Y(2S) nuclear modification factors and their double ratio. Most important, we investigate the consequences of the different velocity dependencies of these potential models on the bottomonia RAA(pT).
