Measurements of J/$\psi$ production by the PHENIX experiment in p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV are reviewed. The results show a suppression beyond what can be explained by cold nuclear matter effects in the…
We present new results of a completed PHENIX analysis of $\psi(2s)$ modification at midrapidity in 200 GeV $d+$Au collisions. Strong suppression of the $\psi(2s)$ relative to the $J/\psi$ is observed. This difference in suppression is too…

Heavy quarkonia are observed to be suppressed in relativistic heavy ion collisions relative to their production in p+p collisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. In order to determine if this suppression is related to color…
The J/$\psi$ yields in heavy ion collisions are expected to be a promising probe of deconfined matter, since theoretical models predict that the J/$\psi$ production could be strongly suppressed due to color screening effect in a Quark Gluon…
In terms of a new QCD factorization formula for J/$\psi$ production, we calculate the J/$\psi$ suppression in nuclear collisions by including the multiple scattering between the pre-J/$\psi$ partonic states and the nuclear medium. We find…
The effects of energy loss in cold nuclear matter on J/psi suppression in p-A collisions are studied. A simple model based on first principles and depending on a single free parameter is able to reproduce J/psi suppression data at large xF…
In the QGP based threshold model \cite{Blaizot:2000ev,Blaizot:1996nq}, in addition to the normal nuclear absorption, $J/\psi$'s are subjected to an 'anomalous' suppression such that above a threshold density $n_{J/\psi}$, all the $J/\psi$'s…
Charmonium states are expected to be considerably suppressed in the case of quark-gluon plasma formation in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. However, a robust identification of suppression patterns as signatures of a deconfined QCD medium…

The suppression of the $\psi$(2S) nuclear modification factor has been seen as a trademark signature of final state effects in large collision systems for decades. In small systems, deviations of the nuclear modification from unity had been…
