Indications of Suppression of Excited Upsilon States in Pb-Pb Collisions at root(s)NN=2.76 TeV

A comparison of the relative yields of Υ resonances in the μ[superscript +]μ[superscript -] decay channel in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 TeV is performed with data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Using muons of transverse momentum above 4  ...
