We provide an update on our semi-classical transport approach for quarkonium production in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, focusing on J/ and (2S) mesons in 5. 02 TeV Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at both forward and mid-rapidity. In particular, we employ the most recent charm-production cross sections reported in pp collisions, which are pivotal for the magnitude of the regeneration contribution, and their modifications due to cold-nuclear-matter (CNM) effects. Multi-differential observables are calculated in terms of nuclear modification factors as a function of centrality, transverse momentum, and rapidity, including the contributions from bottom-decay feeddown. For our predictions for (2S) production, the mechanism of sequential regeneration relative to the more strongly bound J/ meson plays an important role in interpreting recent ALICE data.
