Inclusive Cross Section of J/Psi Particles in the Forward Direction
		in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at CDF

				ABSTRACT

The first measurement of the inclusive cross section of the J/Psi particle in
the forward detector at CDF is presented in this thesis.  Events from the
Fermilab collider Run 1B and Run 1C were selected which had two forward muons
that satisfied certain quality cuts, and parent J/Psi's were reconstructed from
the daughter muons. The efficiency and acceptance of the detector were then
taken into account and the number of events turned into an inclusive cross
section: 
sigma(J/Psi to mu + mu, pt > 10 GeV/c, 2.1<|eta|<2.6 ) = 167.8 +/- 14.2 pb
