Abstract

We compute bottomonium suppression and elliptic flow within the pNRQCD effective field theory using an open quantum systems approach. For the hydrodynamical background, we use 2+1D MUSIC second-order viscous hydrodynamics with IP-Glasma initial conditions and evolve bottom/antibottom quantum wave packets in real time in these backgrounds. We find that the impact of fluctuating initial conditions is small when compared to results obtained using smooth initial conditions. Including the effect of fluctuating initial conditions, we find that the Upsilon(1S) integrated elliptic flow is v_2[1S] = 0.005 +/- 0.002 +/- 0.001, with the first and second variations corresponding to statistical and systematic theoretical uncertainties, respectively.
