This paper presents a measurement of J/psi,psi(2S) differential cross sections in p-pbar collisions at square root s = 1.8 TeV. The cross sections are measured above 4 GeV/c in the central region (|eta| < 0.6) using the dimuon decay channel. The fraction of events from B decays is measured, and used to calculate b quark cross sections and direct J/psi,psi(2S) cross sections. The direct cross sections are found to be more than an order of magnitude above theoretical expectations.

Cross sections are multiplied on branching ratio of J/PSI or PSI(2S), respectively.

The cross sections was evaluated form the J/PSI spectrum. The error is statistical and systematic errors, added in quadrature.

In the 1992–1995 runs CDF has collected large samples of J ψ , ψ (2 S ) and ϒ identified through their muonic decay. In the charmonium system all production sources have been separately measured and compared with the theoretical predictions. A large excess of direct production has been observed for both ψ (2 S ) and J ψ . The relative production rate for the χ c 1 and χ c 2 has also been measured. The unexpected results have lead to a profound revisitation of the theory of the production of Q Q bound states in high energy hadronic collisions.

We have measured the differential cross section for the inclusive production of psi(2S) mesons decaying to mu^{+} mu^{-1} that were produced in prompt or B-decay processes from ppbar collisions at 1.96 TeV. These measurements have been made using a data set from an integrated luminosity of 1.1 fb^{-1} collected by the CDF II detector at Fermilab. For events with transverse momentum p_{T} (psi(2S)) > 2 GeV/c and rapidity |y(psi(2S))| < 0.6 we measure the integrated inclusive cross section sigma(ppbar -> psi(2S)X) Br(psi(2S) -> mu^{+} mu^{-}) to be 3.29 +- 0.04(stat.) +- 0.32(syst.) nb.
