particle physics - What is the reason for a wide B$_S$ peak in dimuon plot?


Why is the B$_s$ meson peak in dimuon invariant mass spectrum wider than the others? Upsilon meson has a lifetime of several orders of magnitude shorter, which by my intution should lead the wider peak.

The coloured paths correspond to dedicated dimuon triggers with low $p_T$ thresholds, in specific mass windows, while the light gray continuous distribution represents events collected with a dimuon trigger with high $p_T$ thresholds
