High-Mass Dimuon and Secondary J/Psi Production at CMS as Probes of Medium-Induced Energy Losses of Bottom Quarks in Heavy Ion Collisions

The capability of the CMS detector to observe the rescattering and energy loss of heavy quarks in the dense matter created in heavy ion collisions is discussed. We analyze the sensitivity of high-mass mu+mu- pairs from BBbar semileptonic decays and secondary J/Psi's from single B decays to the...

Sumario:The capability of the CMS detector to observe the rescattering and energy loss of heavy quarks in the dense matter created in heavy ion collisions is discussed. We analyze the sensitivity of high-mass mu+mu- pairs from BBbar semileptonic decays and secondary J/Psi's from single B decays to the medium-induced bottom quark energy loss.
