contents We investigate charmonium production and the charmonium-nucleon correlation function in pp collisions using the EPOS4+CATS framework. For the first time, the emission source of charmonium-proton pairs is dynamically generated and found to be non-Gaussian. This enables a femtoscopic extraction of the charmonium-proton interaction directly from experimental correlation functions. Both ground and excited charmonium states are included. We found that the excited states induce sizable uncertainties even negative in the observed prompt $J/ψ$-proton correlation through feed-down effects, reflecting their stronger interactions.
