Sumario: | Quarkonia have been studied in different collision system and energy in order to understand the effects of the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. CMS is well suited to measure quarkonia decays to muons given the muon identification and charged particle tracking capability. The $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ production in PbPb at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$~TeV and pp collisions at the same per nucleon energy are compared. Prompt and non-prompt $J/\psi$ contributions are separated for the first time in heavy-ion collisions, as is the ground from the excited states in the $\Upsilon$ family. CMS observed a suppression in PbPb compared to pp at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$~TeV for $B\rightarrow J/\psi$, prompt $J/\psi$, and $\Upsilon$(1S), as well as the relative suppression of $\Upsilon$(2S+3S) compared to $\Upsilon$(1S). |
