Abstract
We
have measured the forward
charge
as
a
function of
xF
of
the
psi
for
events
produced
by
225 Gev/c
Tr-Be
interactions.
The
forward charge is
the
average
difference
between
the
number
of
positive hadrons and negative hadrons produced in the forward hemisphere. The standard Drell-Yan model predicts that the forward charge should become less negative as the xF of the J/psi increases. The measured forward charge becomes more negative as the X, of the J/psi increases although it is consistent with being flat as a function of xF. Hence, the data is not consistent with any Drell-Yan type model which assumes the forward charge is not strongly dependent on the hadronic energy left over after the J/psi is formed.
