Abstracts
The properties of the dimuon enhancement seen in 400 GeV proton-nucleus collisions have been clarified by a threefold increase in data. We find two peaks whose widths are consistent with our resolution:
M1 = 9.4 GeV with B d /dy | y = 0 = 1.8 x 10-37 cm2/nucleon and
M2 = 10.0 GeV with B d /dy |y = 0 = 0.7 x 10-37 cm2/nucleon.
Evidence for the possible existence of a third peak near 10.4 GeV is discuss ed as are the comparisons with the properties of a q system, where q is a new heavy quark.
