ALICE is the dedicated heavy-ion physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is designed to provide excellent capabilities to study the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), the deconfined state of strongly-interacting matter, in the highest energy density regime opened up by the LHC. Quarkonia, bound states of heavy (charm or bottom) quarks such as the J/ψ, are crucial probes of the QGP. An essential baseline for measurements in AA collisions is high-precision data from pp collisions. Moreover, measurements in pp in the new energy domain of the LHC serve as a crucial test for competing models of quarkonium hadroproduction.

We will present first results of rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the inclusive J/ψ production cross section. The analysis is based on the reconstruction of the channel J/ψ→e+e using the central barrel detectors of ALICE. Furthermore, the status of the corresponding analysis in PbPb collisions will be given.
