Abstract
We present in this work a study of large-\pt\ charmonium production in hadronic collisions. We work in the framework of the factorization model of Bodwin Braaten and Lepage, thereby including the color octet production mechanism, and extract the values of the necessary nonperturbative parameters from a comparison with the most recent data from the Fermilab 1.8 TeV hadron collider. We extend the calculation to 630 \gev, and compare the results with data published by the UA1 Collaboration. The global agreement is satisfactory, indicating that the largest components of the production mechanisms for charmonium production at high \pt\ have been isolated.
