Observation of Massive Muon Pairs in Hadron Collisions

Abstracts
Muon pairs in the mass range 1 < mμμ < 6.7 GeV/c2 have been observed in collision of high-energy protons with uranium nuclei. At an incident energy of 29 GeV, the cross section varies smoothly as dσ/dmμμ approx 10-32/mμμ5 cm2 (GeV/c)-2 and exhibits no resonant structure. The total cross section increases by a factor of 5 as the proton energy rises from 22 to 29.5 GeV.
