Abstract
The nuclear dependence for 800 GeV/c proton production of J/psi's has been measured near x(F) = 0. J/psi's produced from beryllium, carbon, and tungsten targets were detected with the Fermilab E789 pair spectro meter. These data extend the results from E772 down to the range x(F) = -0.1 to 0.1 and indicate a gradually increasing suppression as x(F) falls below zero.
