The measurement is performed for both jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic> and jats:italicψ</jats:italic>(2jats:italicS</jats:italic>) mesons having transverse momentum jats:italicp</jats:italic>jats:subT</jats:sub>jats:italic<</jats:italic> 14 GeV/jats:italicc</jats:italic> and rapidity 2jats:italic.</jats:italic>0 jats:italic< y <</jats:italic> 4jats:italic.</jats:italic>5, assuming negligible polarisation of the jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic> and jats:italicψ</jats:italic>(2jats:italicS</jats:italic>) mesons. The production cross-section is measured to be 4jats:italic.</jats:italic>5 ± 0jats:italic.</jats:italic>7 ± 0jats:italic.</jats:italic>3 nb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The differential cross-sections are measured as functions of several kinematic variables of the jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic>-jats:italicψ</jats:italic>(2jats:italicS</jats:italic>) candidates. The results are combined with a measurement of jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic>-jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic> production, giving a cross-section ratio between jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic>-jats:italicψ</jats:italic>(2jats:italicS</jats:italic>) and jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic>-jats:italicJ/ψ</jats:italic> production of 0jats:italic.</jats:italic>274 ± 0jats:italic.</jats:italic>044 ± 0jats:italic.</jats:italic>008, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.</jats:p>
