Description
Beauty quarks are considered as one of the best probes of the strongly interacting medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions because they are predominantly produced via initial hard scatterings. Measurements of B meson production provide information about the diffusion of beauty quarks and the flavor dependence of in-medium energy loss. In these studies, clarifying the hadronization mechanism is crucial for understanding the transport properties of beauty quarks. Measurements of $B_{S}^{0}$ production can shed light on the mechanisms of beauty recombination in the medium and provide information about strangeness enhancement in the quark-gluon plasma. In this talk, we will present a new measurement of the ratio of $B_{S}^{0}$ to $B^{+}$ mesons in PbPb collisions at 5.02 TeV with the CMS detector, using data recorded in 2018.
