J/$\psi$ suppression with respect to the reaction plane in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV by the PHENIX detector

The possible formation of a QGP could affect how the initial anisotropy of particles in coordinate space is transferred into momentum space in the final state. Heavy quarkonia are produced dominatly by the gluon fusion at RHIC energy and should have less interactions than particles composed of light quarks. Hence, it would inherit the properties of the underlying heavy quarks and reflects its interaction with the medium, such as its elliptic flow and suppression with respect to the reaction plane. The measured reaction plane dependent J/$\psi$ yield would be used to determine the azimuthal dependence of the J/$\psi$ suppression as a function of $p_{T}$ and centrality, $R_{AA}$ ($p_{T}$, $\Delta\phi$).
