Description
The nuclear modification of quarkonia in heavy ion collisions involves a set of physics parameters like energy density, path length and initial state effects which can be controlled experimentally with variations in the beam energy, use of different species and rapidity ranges. The PHENIX detector recently collected high statistics data using combinations of heavy ion species and beam energies in a broad rapidity range. This talk will present the most recent measurements of J/$\psi$, $\psi^{\prime}$, $\chi_c$ and $\Upsilon$ production in d+Au, Au+Au, Cu+Cu, Cu+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$200 GeV, 62 GeV and 39 GeV in mid- ($|y|<$0.35) and forward rapidities ($1.2<|y|<2.2$).
