The differential cross-section dσ/dxF for J/Ψ production in 800 GeV proton-nucleus collisions has been measured in the kinematic range 0.30 ≤ xF ≤ 0.95 and xF < p$$\perp$$ < 5 GeV through the decay mode J/Ψ → μ+μ-. The nuclear dependence of J/Ψ production over this range was measured using copper and beryllium targets. The differential cross sections are in good agreement with the predictions of the symbolical parton duality model. The data show no evidence for an intrinsic charm component in the proton. The ratio of the differential cross sections for copper and beryllium shows a suppression of J/Ψ production in copper which increases with increasing xF.
