  ALICE is the dedicated heavy-ion experiment at the LHC. Due to the unique
particle identification capabilities of the central barrel detectors
(|eta|<0.9), J/psi can be measured in the di-electron channel in the very
demanding environment of central Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. In addition J/psi
are measured at forward rapidity (2.5<y<4) with a dedicated muon spectrometer.
ALICE is the only LHC experiment with an acceptance for J/psi that reaches down
to p_T=0 at both, mid- and forward rapidity. Preliminary results on the nuclear
modification factor of the inclusive J/psi production at mid- and forward
rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV are presented.
