Description

The dissociation of quarkonia in the medium created in heavy ion collisions is still one of the most debated topics in the heavy ion community. Progress in understanding the effect relies on a broad range of measurement in collisions with different nuclear sizes, covering a broad rapidity coverage. This presentation will report the J/Psi measurements performed by the PHENIX collaboration at forward and backward rapidities of 1.2<|y|<2.2 in p+Au, p+Al and 3He+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN) =200 GeV and the corresponding nuclear modification factors. The results will be compared to current quarkonia breaking models.
