Photoproduction of J/$\psi$ in the forward region
  We study the phenomenology of fixed-target elastic $J/\psi$ photoproduction in the NRQCD factorization formalism. Our the goal is to test an essential feature of this formalism --- the color-octet mechanism. We obtain an order-of-magnitude estimate for a certain linear combination of NRQCD color-octet matrix elements. Our estimate is consistent with other empirical determinations and with the $v$-scaling rules of NRQCD.
