The Contribution of $q \bar{q}$ Annihilations to Dimuon Production in $\pi N$ Interactions

Reece, C. ; LeBritton, J. ; McCal, D. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 85 (1979) 427-431, 1979.
Inspire Record 7886 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27323

We present data on dimuon production by 16 GeV π + and π − beams on a Cu target. From the data we evaluate, for π − N collisions, the fraction of dimuon events that originate from the annihilation process q q ̄ → μ + μ − . Using this information the experimentally determined cross section for the process q q ̄ → μ + μ − is observed to be in agreement with the Drell-Yan model over a wide range of incident energies. The observed deviations from exact scaling are of the order predicted by QCD calculations for the Q 2 -dependence of the nucleon and the pion structure function.

Production of High Mass Muon Pairs in $\pi^-$ Be Collisions at 150-{GeV}/$c$ and 175-{GeV}/$c$

Phys.Rev.Lett. 43 (1979) 1541, 1979.
Inspire Record 142156 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20768

This paper presents production and decay characteristics of 500 high-mass, high-resolution μ+μ− pairs produced in π− Be collisions at 150 and 175 GeV/c. The data do not agree with a simple Drell-Yan production mechanism, but indicate that higher-order quantum-chromodynamic corrections must be included.

Measurement of Dimuon Production at the {ISR}

Antreasyan, D. ; Atwood, W. ; Battiston, R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 45 (1980) 863, 1980.
Inspire Record 153857 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20656

Prompt dimuon production has been measured. Events with mass up to 25 GeV/c2 are observed, as well as the J and ϒ resonances. Cross sections are given for J and ϒ production. For the continuum, the scaling function F(τ) is measured at very small values of τ=ms covering the range 0.05<τ<0.20.

Production of Muon Pairs in the Continuum Region by 39.5-{GeV}/$c \pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $p$ and $\bar{p}$ Beams Incident on a Tungsten Target

Corden, M. ; Dowell, J.D. ; Garvey, J. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 96 (1980) 417-421, 1980.
Inspire Record 154577 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27163

Inclusive dimuon production by 39.5 GeV/ c π ± , K ± , p and p¯ is described for masses greater than 2.0 GeV/ c 2 . The π − , π + and (π − − π + ) continuum cross-sections exceed the naive Drell-Yan predictions by a factor ∼2.4. The pion valence structure function has been measured and is consistent with a corresponding measurement at 200 GeV/ c .

rivet Analysis
Dimuon Scaling Comparison at 44-{GeV} and 62-{GeV}

Antreasyan, D. ; Becker, U. ; Bellettini, G. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 48 (1982) 302, 1982.
Inspire Record 168182 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20610

Measurements of pp→μ+μ−+X at s=44 and 62 GeV are compared. The data are taken under identical conditions utilizing clean proton-proton collisions from the CERN intersecting storage rings and confirm scaling to 5%. The observed μ+μ− yield is a factor of 1.6±0.2 larger than estimated from a simple parton model but is consistent with QCD. The pT dependence of the muon pairs agrees well with expectations from QCD.

STUDY OF THE LOW MASS DIMUON CONTINUUM PRODUCED IN HADRONIC INTERACTIONS

The NA3 collaboration Badier, J. ; Boucrot, J. ; Bourotte, J. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 142 (1984) 446, 1984.
Inspire Record 199414 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30530

We present here the analysis of low mass dimuon events (1.8 < M μμ < 2.6 GeV / c 2 ) produced by positive and negative pion and proton beams at 200 GeV / c . Using the difference between the π - and the π + cross sections, and comparing to the Drell-Yan model, we find a K -factor of 2.47 ± 0.5. Only about 1 2 of the events can be attributed to the Drell-Yan mechanism. If the remaining events are attributed to muonic decays of D mesons we findan upper limit for the cross section of charmed meson production.

The Production of Massive Muon Pairs in $\pi^-$ Nucleus Collisions

Greenlee, H.B. ; Frisch, Henry J. ; Grosso-Pilcher, C. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 55 (1985) 1555, 1985.
Inspire Record 17013 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20316

We present measurements of the differential cross section for the production of massive muon pairs in 225-GeV/c π−-nucleus collisions. We have used the data between the ψ and ϒ resonances in the framework of the Drell-Yan quark-antiquark annihilation model to predict the behavior of the cross section in the high-mass (mμμ>11 GeV/c2) region. The data are consistent with this extrapolation provided that a QCD leading-logarithmic evolution is included in the structure functions.

Nuclear Dependence of Dimuon Production at 800-GeV

Alde, D.M. ; Baer, H.W. ; Carey, T.A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 64 (1990) 2479-2482, 1990.
Inspire Record 303588 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.19997

A precise measurement of the atomic-mass dependence of dimuon production induced by 800-GeV protons is reported. Over 450 000 muon pairs with dimuon mass M≥4 GeV were recorded from targets of H2, C, Ca, Fe, and W. The ratio of dimuon yield per nucleon for nuclei versus H2, R=YA/Y2H, is sensitive to modifications of the antiquark sea in nuclei. No nuclear dependence of this ratio is observed over the range of target-quark momentum fraction 0.1<xt<0.3. For xt<0.1 the ratio is slightly less than unity for the heavy nuclei. These results are compared with predictions of models of the European Muon Collaboration effect.
