We report J/ψ spectra for transverse momenta p[subscript T]> 5GeV/c at mid-rapidity in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200GeV. The inclusive J/ψ spectrum and the extracted B-hadron feed-down are compared to models incorporating different production mechanisms. We observe significant suppression of the J/ψ yields for p[subscript T] > 5GeV/c in 0-30% central Au+Au collisions relative to the p+p yield scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in Au+Au collisions. In 30-60% mid-central collisions, no such suppression is observed. The level of suppression is consistently less than that of high-p[subscript T]π[superscript ±] and low-p[subscript T]J/ψ at RHIC and high-p[subscript T]J/ψ at the LHC. Keywords: J/ψ, suppression, Color-screening, Quarkonium, Heavy-ion collisions, STAR
