Abstract

The differential cross sections do/dxF for J/G produced inclusively in 800 GeV/c p-Cn and pBe collisions have been measured in the kinematic range 0.30 5 IF < 0.95 through the decay mode J/G + p+p-. They are compared with the predictions of the semilocal duality model for several sets of parton density functions. No evidence for a suggested intrinsic charm contribution to the cross section is observed. The ratio of the differential cross sections for Cu and Be targets confirms the suppression of J/$ production in heavy nuclei at large ZF.
