Book excerpt: We have studied the[ital J]/[psi] production in[ital p][ital[anti p]] collisions at[radical]s= 1.8 TeV with the D[null] detector at the Fermilab Tevatron, using a[mu][sup+][mu][sup -] data sample collected during the 1994-95 running period. We have measured the inclusive[ital J]/[psi] production cross section as a function of the[ital J]/[psi] transverse momentum, [ital P][sub T][sup[ital J]/[psi]] in the central and forward rapidity regions. The new measurement of the cross section[ital d[sigma]/dp][sub T][sup[ital J]/[psi]] for[vert-bar][eta][sup[ital J]/[psi]][vert-bar][lt] 0.6 is in a good agreement with the CDF and earlier D[null] results. The cross section measurement[ital d[sigma]/dp][sub T][sup[ital J]/[psi]] for 2.5[lt][vert-bar][eta][sup[ital J]/[psi]][vert-bar][lt] 3.7 covers the[ital p][sub T][sup[ital J]/[psi]] range from 1 to 16 GeV/c. We combine the measurements in several[vert-bar][eta][sup[ital J]/[psi]][vert-bar] regions to discuss[ital d[sigma]/d[eta]][sup[ital J]/[psi]] for[ital p][sub T][sup[ital J]/[psi]][gt] 8 GeV/c. The data are compared with the next-to- leading order (NLO) QCD calculations, which take into account different[ital J]/[psi] production mechanisms.
