Abstract
We report on the production of J/psi mesons in 530 and 800 GeV/c pBe collis ions in the Feynman-x range 0.0<x(F)<0.6. The J/psi mesons were detected vi a decays into mu(+) mu(-). Differential distributions for J/psi production have been measured as functions of x(F), P-T(2), and the cosine of the Gott fried-Jackson decay angle. These distributions are compared with results on J/psi production obtained in 515 GeV/c pi(-)Be collisions, measured by the same experiment, as well as with results from other experiments using inci dent protons.
