Title
-----
Charmonium Production in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV

Abstract
--------
Charmonium production in p-pbar collisions is studied using data taken
at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV with the CDF detector.  The 
differential cross sections for the production of J/Psi and Psi' mesons
are measured.

Charmonium production is expected to proceed via two machanisms.  One 
method of production is the decay of B mesons and baryons.  The other 
is direct production, via parton-parton fusion and gluon and charm 
fragmentation.  The two production mechanisms are separated and compared
with theoretical predicitons.
