Description

I will present updated results from the FASTSUM collaboration on the bottomonium spectrum at finite temperature from lattice NRQCD on anisotropic $N_f=2+1$ Wilson clover ensembles. Further systematic checks on the reconstruction of the spectral function at high temperatures where few correlator data are available will be discussed. This is relevant to understand the reliability of the observed temperature dependence and the extraction of information on the ground state widths. Preliminary results on higher orbital excitations will be shown.
