One of the findings of the LHC heavy ion program is the observation of stronger suppression of the excited quarkonium states compared to the ground states in lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-lead (pPb) collisions. Such differences among the states may imply dissociation effects occurring at late stages, after the evolution of heavy quark pairs into well-defined physical states. The variety of binding energies within the quarkonia families offers an experimental tool to characterize the phenomena at play. Measuring the excited states is crucial as they represent significant feed-down contributions to the production of the ground states and must be accounted for in the interpretation of the data. We present studies of the relative suppression of quarkonia in pPb and PbPb collisions performed by CMS. For the first time, the nuclear modification factor has been extended to the strongly suppressed Υ(3S) state. Moreover, nuclear modification factors as well as excited-to-ground state cross section ratios are measured as a function of particle transverse momentum and rapidity, and event activity. The results are compared with several model calculations incorporating initial- and final-state effects.
