Abstract

This is an overview of the PHENIX J/ψ results in hot nuclear matter from heavy ion collisions. Current results for R _AA and v ₂ in Au+Au collisions, as well as R _AA from Cu+Cu collisions are included and discussed. A comparison is also done to cold nuclear matter effects using R _dAu results.
