Sumario:The compact muon solenoid (CMS) detector at the large hadron collider (LHC) is ideal to measure the heavy flavor production, especially, in the dimuon channels in high-multiplicity environment. Compared to the $pp$ data scaled by the number of binary collisions, the yields of prompt and non-prompt $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$(1$S$) in PbPb collisions are strongly suppressed at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV. In addition, the excited $\Upsilon$(2$S$+3$S$) states are also suppressed relative to the ground $\Upsilon$(1$S$) state in PbPb collisions. These results consistently indicate a significant medium effect on the heavy-flavor production in heavy-ion collisions at LHC.
