Description
In this seminar, I will present our recent study on the role of anisotropic escape in generating the elliptic flow of bottomonia produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We implement temperature dependent decay widths for the various bottomonium states, to calculate their survival probability when traversing through the anisotropic hot medium formed in non-central collisions. For the latter, we use initial conditions from a Glauber model and mimic the transverse expansion of the fireball in an effective way, assuming longitudinal boost invariance. We provide a quantitative prediction for bottomonium elliptic flow generated from an nisotropic escape mechanism.
