Description
We present results for bottomonium suppression in the QGP based on pNRQCD and the open quantum system framework. We extend previous studies by including the three loop potential from pNRQCD, which provides a good prediction for the spin-averaged bottomonium spectrum. We solve the corresponding Lindblad equation for the quarkonium density matrix to obtain predictions for the nuclear modification factor. The new potential leads to results that are consistent with experimental measurements of the nuclear modification factor as well as lattice results for the in medium width and thermal mass shift of bottomonium.
