Description
The study of the production of bottomonium states
and their suppression has been a proposed probe of the properties of
the hot and dense medium created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
In particular, some of the $\Upsilon$ states have a smaller size
and larger binding energy than the J/$\psi$, and their
study provides valuable information complementary
to those obtained from charmonium.
The $\Upsilon{\rm (1S)}$ state is expected to
dissociate at a higher temperature than all
the other quarkonium states, thus proving to
be an effective thermometer of the system.
This poster will highlight details of
the $\Upsilon$ analysis in Pb-Pb
collisions, along with future prospects of
$\Upsilon$ studies in the ALICE experiment
for the upcoming Run2 of the LHC.
