The suppression of the J<jats:italic>/ψ</jats:italic> yield in Pb–Pb collisions with respect to binary-scaled pp collisions is quantified by the nuclear modification factor (<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sub>AA</jats:sub>).

The inclusive J<jats:italic>/ψ R</jats:italic>AA shows a suppression increasing toward higher transverse momentum, with a steeper dependence for central collisions. The modification of the J<jats:italic>/ψ</jats:italic> average transverse momentum and average squared transverse momentum is also studied. Comparisons with the results of models based on a transport equation and on statistical hadronization are carried out.</jats:p>
