Description

Beauty production and phenomena in heavy-ion collisions are considered to be one of the key measurements to address the flavour-dependence of in-medium energy loss in PbPb collisions at the LHC. The CMS experiment has excellent capabilities for measuring b-quark production thanks to the excellent performances of its muon and tracker system, allowing the measurement of J/$\Psi$ mesons from B meson decays, separately from prompt production, as well as fully reconstructed B mesons. In this talk, CMS will present the measurement of the $R_{AA}$ for J/$\Psi$ produced in B meson decays, in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV, as a function of transverse momentum, rapidity and event centrality. As well as the measurement of $R_{AA}$ for fully reconstructed B mesons in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV.
