Inclusive mu - Pair Production at 150-GeV by pi+ Mesons and Protons

Anderson, K.J. ; Henry, G.G. ; McDonald, K.T. ; et al.
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.

Inspire Record 121707 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.1192

Inclusive muon pair production by 225 GeV/c $\pi^+, \pi^-$ and proton beams incident upon carbon and tin tarjets was measured over a large range of kinematic variables ($2m_{\mu} < m_{mm}$ < $1 GeV/c^2$, 0 < $x_F$ < $p_{\perp}$ < 4 GeV/c and $\mid cose^* 1 < .3$)...

Test of Scaling in Muon Pair Production by Hadrons

Antreasyan, D. ; Cronin, J.W. ; Frisch, Henry J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 39 (1977) 906, 1977.
Inspire Record 5448 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20946

We have measured the inclusive production of massive dimuons (7<~Mμμ<~11 GeV/c2) by 200-, 300-, and 400-GeV protons incident on Cu in order to check whether the dimensionless cross section Mμμ3[dσdMμμdy]y=0 is a function of Mμμ2s alone, where s is the square of the c.m. energy. The results support the scaling hypothesis.

Study of the high mass dimuon continuum in 400-GeV proton - nucleus collisions

Kaplan, D.M. ; Fisk, R.J. ; Ito, A.S. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 40 (1978) 435, 1978.
Inspire Record 122485 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20947

The mass spectrum of muon pairs in the range 5 to 15 GeV is studied in the inclusive reaction p+nucleus→μ++μ−+anything. The ϒ and continuum distribution are presented as is the A dependence of the continuum. Comparison with a parton-annihilation model yields a sea-quark distribution.

Study of scaling in hadronic production of dimuons

Yoh, J.K. ; Herb, S.W. ; Hom, D.C. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 41 (1978) 684, 1978.
Inspire Record 130804 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.3337

We present proton-nucleus dimuon-production cross sections for masses between 4 and 15 GeV, center-of-mass rapidities between -0.23 and 0.6 and incident energies of 200, 300, and 400 GeV. The data confirm scaling to the 20% level. The dependence of continuum 〈pT〉 on beam energy is also presented.

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.

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}/$c$

Barate, R. ; Bareyre, P. ; Bonamy, P. ; et al.
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.
