A comparison is made with corresponding cross sections obtained with pp data measured at the same collision energy and scaled by the Pb nucleus mass number. The nuclear modification factor for [Formula presented] is found to be [Formula presented]. Similar results for the excited states indicate a sequential suppression pattern, such that [Formula presented]. The suppression of all states is much less pronounced in pPb than in PbPb collisions, and independent of transverse momentum [Formula presented] and center-of-mass rapidity [Formula presented] of the individual [Formula presented] state in the studied range [Formula presented] and [Formula presented]. Models that incorporate final-state effects of bottomonia in pPb collisions are in better agreement with the data than those which only assume initial-state modifications.BottomoniumCMSHeavy ion collisionsQuark-gluon plasmaQuarkonium suppressionjournal article10.1016/j.physletb.2022.137397
