Abstract

We report on the Jψ\psi nuclear modification factor RAAR_{\rm AA} at mid-rapidity (y<0.9|y|<0.9) in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76 TeV measured by ALICE. Jψ\psi candidates are reconstructed using their e+ee^+e^- decay channel. The kinematical coverage extends to zero transverse momentum allowing the measurement of integrated cross sections. We show the centrality dependence of the Jψ\psi RAAR_{\rm AA} at mid-rapidity compared to the results from PHENIX at mid-rapidity and ALICE results at forward-rapidity. We also discuss comparisons to calculations from theoretical models.
