Description
The measurement of quarkonia production in relativistic heavy ion
collisions provides a powerful tool for studying the properties of
the hot and dense matter created in these collisions.
To be really useful, however, such measurements must cover a wide
range of quarkonia states and colliding species.
The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has successfully measured J/psi, psi-prime,
chi_c and Upsilon states in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions.
In this talk I will present recent results from the PHENIX collaboration
on charmonium production in Cu+Au and U+U collisions at 200 GeV/c.
