The yield of J/ψ and ψ’ vector-meson states has been measured for 800-GeV protons incident on deuterium, carbon, calcium, iron, and tungsten targets. A depletion of the yield per nucleon from heavy nuclei is observed for both J/ψ and ψ’ production. This depletion exhibits a strong dependence on xF and pt. Within experimental errors the depletion is the same for the J/ψ and the ψ’.

The production of J/ψ by π ± , K ± , p and p¯ incident on tungsten at 39.5GeV/ c beam momentum has been studied. Production of ψ' (3700) by π ± was also observed. The J/ψ relative particle/a ntiparticle cross-sections for x F 0 are σ(σ + ) σ(σ − =( are σ(σ ± )/σ(σ − )=(1.01±0.06), σ(K + )/σ(K) − )=(0.29±0.07) and σ(p) /σ(p¯)= (0.1+-0.03). The small p/p¯ and K + /K − cross-section ratios indicate the importance of valence quarks in the production process.
