Phys.Rev.Lett. 37 (1976) 799, 1976.
Inspire Record 3993 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21035

We report the measurements of the inclusive μ-pair production by 150-GeV protons and π+ mesons on beryllium. Absolute cross sections as well as the Feynman-x and PT dependence are presented in the mass region between 0.211 and 3.5 GeV/c2. Upper limits are also given for the inclusive production of η and ρ′(1600) mesons.

Hadronic Production of Massive Muon Pairs: Dependence on Incident Particle Type and on Target Nucleus.

Branson, J.G. ; Sanders, G.H. ; Smith, A.J.S. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 38 (1977) 1334-1337, 1977.
Inspire Record 123331 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21006

Data from a study of muon pairs produced in hadron-nucleus collisions are compared with the Drell-Yan model. Comparison of dimuon production by π+ and π− mesons on an isoscalar target shows evidence for a charge asymmetry characteristic of an isospin-nonconserving electromagnetic process. The average transverse momentum of the pairs increases smoothly with pair mass. Data taken on carbon and tin targets are used to extract the dependence on target atomic weight.

A Determination of the Pion Structure Function from Muon Pair Production

Newman, C.B. ; Anderson, K.J. ; Coleman, R.N. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 42 (1979) 951, 1979.
Inspire Record 140037 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20767

Data on muon-pair production by pions are used to determine the momentum distribution for valence quarks in the pion. The shape of a nucleon structure function is also obtained and is compared with a calculation based on existing data.

Experimental Test of the {Drell-Yan} Model in $p W \to \mu^+ \mu^- X$

Smith, S.R. ; Childress, S. ; Mockett, P.M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 46 (1981) 1607, 1981.
Inspire Record 164176 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20659

We report a high-statistics study of the reaction p+W→μ++μ−+X with use of an intense 400-GeV/c proton beam, a magnetized-iron beam dump, and a wide-acceptance detector. Using data near xF=0, we have extracted the nucleon sea-quark distribution and find it to be a factor 1.6±0.3 larger than that obtained by inelastic charged-current neutrino scattering. We then compare the Drell-Yan prediction with our data including the previously unexplored region of large xF and find excellent agreement for a wide range of μ-pair invariant mass.

Low Mass Dimuon Production at the {CERN} Proton - Anti-Proton Collider

The UA1 collaboration Albajar, C. ; Albrow, M.G. ; Allkofer, O.C. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 209 (1988) 397-406, 1988.
Inspire Record 261359 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29936

We present a study of low mass dimuon events [ m ( μμ ) < 6 GeV/ c 2 ] from the UA1 experiment at the CERN p p collider. Contributions from semileptonic decays of heavy flavour particles, Drell-Yan type processes, J/ψ decays and leptonic decays of light mesons are extracted, and cross sections for high p T beauty and Drell-Yan production are derived. A limit for the branching fraction for the exotic decay B 0 →μ + μ − is also obtained. The cross section for section for low mass, high p T Drell-Yan prod uction is compared to the measured direct photon cross section using QED and QCD derived relationship. This relationship is used to infer a measurement of the single photon cross section at lower values of transverse momentum, where photons cannot be unambigously identified.

Inspire Record 262955 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29907

A search for multihadronic events produced with two energetic leptons has been performed at PETRA using 130 pb −1 accumulated by the CELLO detector at 35 GeV ⩽ √ s ⩽46.8 GeV. Three μ + μ − , eleven e + e − and three eμ events were observed. The mesured yields an dthe event characteristics are in good agreement with the expectation for the α 4 QED processes e + e − → ℓ + ℓ − q q and from semileptonic decays of pairs of heavy quarks.

Dimuon Production in 800 GeV Proton Nucleus Collisions

Brown, C.N. ; Cooper, W.E. ; Finley, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 63 (1989) 2637-2640, 1989.
Inspire Record 288346 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20031

A measurement of continuum dimuon production in proton-copper collisions at 800-GeV incident energy is presented. The dimuons observed in this experiment cover the mass range from 6.5 to 18 GeV near y=0 in the proton-nucleon center-of-momentum frame. Scaling forms of the cross section for the continuum are compared with the results of other experiments in the context of the parton model and quantum chromodynamics. The present limitations of such scaling comparisons are discussed.

Measurement of the Ratio of Sea to Valence Quarks in the Nucleon

Heinrich, J.G. ; Adolphsen, C.E. ; Alexander, J.P. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 63 (1989) 356-359, 1989.
Inspire Record 285060 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20030

The ratio of sea to valence quarks for nucleons in tungsten has been measured for the fractional momentum range 0.04<xN<0.36. The determination is based on the relative production rate of muon pairs by π+ and π− beams on a tungsten target. The results provide the most accurate determination to date of this ratio in the region xN<0.1 and Q2>20 GeV2, and are in good agreement with earlier measurements.

Phys.Rev.D 39 (1989) 92-122, 1989.
Inspire Record 280845 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.23151

We present the results of a study of muon pairs with invariant masses greater than 4.05 GeV/c2 produced in high-energy pion-nucleon interactions. The production cross section together with the inferred pion and nucleon structure functions are reported and compared with other experiments and with QCD predictions. The transverse-momentum distributions are also presented. Finally, the full angular distribution in cosθ and φ is given as a function of mass, Feynman x, and transverse momentum. Longitudinal photon polarization is seen in the lower portion of the mass range at high xπ. This result is compared with a higher-twist model.
