COMPARISON OF MUON - PROTON AND ELECTRON - PROTON INELASTIC SCATTERING

Braunstein, T. ; Lakin, W.L. ; Martin, F. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 6 (1972) 106, 1972.
Inspire Record 73463 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.22267

Measurements of the differential cross section for the inelastic scattering of 12-GeV/c muons on protons are reported. These measurements cover a kinematic range of |q2| (the square of the four-momentum transferred from the lepton) up to 4.0 (GeV/c)2 and of muon energy losses (ν) up to 9.0 GeV. Only the scattered muon is observed in an optical spark-chamber apparatus. The data are compared with electron-proton inelastic scattering, and analyzed in terms of possible lepton form factors and anomalous interactions. μ−p inelastic scattering is found to exhibit the same mild |q2| behavior as does e−p inelastic scattering. No experimentally significant deviation from the predictions of muon-electron universality has been found. If the ratio of muon to electron inelastic cross sections is parametrized by the form (1.0+|q2|ΛD2)−2, we find with 97.7% confidence that ΛD>4.1 GeV/c. The muon-proton cross sections on the average are slightly smaller than the electron-proton cross sections. This observation is not experimentally significant because such a difference might be caused by systematic errors, but this observation is used to speculate as to the most fruitful direction for future experiments.

A STUDY OF THE STRONG INTERACTION FORM-FACTORS FOR K0(L) ---> pi mu neutrino AND K0(L) ---> pi electron neutrino

Dally, E. ; Innocenti, P. ; Seppi, E. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 41 (1972) 647-651, 1972.
Inspire Record 74541 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.28214

We have extracted the strong interaction form factors from K o e3 and K o μ3 data of our previously reported K o L experiment in a manner which does not assume an explicit q 2 = ( p K − p π ) 2 dependence. We present the unparameterized form factors ƒ + (q 2 ) from the K o L → πeν and K o L → πμν modes and ƒ o (q 2 ) and ξ ( q 2 ) from the K o L → πμν data. A comparison of these unparameterized results is made with the results of the Dalitz plot analyses.

Further observation of muonless neutrino-induced inelastic interactions.

Aubert, Bernard ; Benvenuti, A.C. ; Cline, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 32 (1974) 1454-1457, 1974.
Inspire Record 882 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21934

We report here additional positive results of a search for muonless neutrino- and anti-neutrino-induced events using an enriched antineutrino beam and a muon identifier of relatively high geometric detection efficiency. The ratio of muonless to muon event rates is observed to be R=0.20±0.05. We observe no background derived from ordinary neutrino or antineutrino interactions that is capable of explaining the muonless signal.

Measurement of Rates for Muonless Deep Inelastic Neutrino and anti-neutrino Interactions

Aubert, Bernard ; Benvenuti, A.C. ; Cline, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 32 (1974) 1457, 1974.
Inspire Record 1123 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21890

Relative rates for deep inelastic neutrino and antineutrino scattering without a finalstate muon have been measured. For neutrinos the result is Rν=σ(νμ+nucleon→νμ+hadrons)σ(νμ+nucleon→μ−+hadrons)=0.11±0.05. The corresponding ratio for antineutrinos is Rν¯=0.32±0.09.

Observation of Large Transverse Momentum Muons Directly Produced by 300-GeV Protons

Boymond, J.P. ; Mermod, R. ; Piroue, P.A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 33 (1974) 112, 1974.
Inspire Record 1236 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.43753

We have observed muons produced directly in Cu and W targets by 300-GeV incident protons. We find a yield of muons which is approximately a constant fraction (0.8·10−4) of the pion yield for both positive and negative charges and for transverse momenta between 1.5 and 5.4 GeV/c.

Evidence for anomalous lepton production in e+ e- annihilation.

Perl, Martin L. ; Abrams, G.S. ; Boyarski, A. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 35 (1975) 1489-1492, 1975.
Inspire Record 100634 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21164

We have found events of the form e++e−→e±+μ∓+missingenergy, in which no other charged particles or photons are detected. Most of these events are detected at or above a center-of-mass energy of 4 GeV. The missing-energy and missing-momentum spectra require that at least two additional particles be produced in each event. We have no conventional explanation for these events.
