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.

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.

We have measured the production of massive muon pairs in hadronic collisions at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). A clear signal of production of the ϒ resonance by π + of 200 GeV/ c and π − of 200 and 280 GeV/ c on a platinum target is observed.

MEASUREMENT OF J / psi PRODUCTION IN 280-GeV/c mu+ IRON INTERACTIONS

The European Muon collaboration Aubert, J.J. ; Bassompierre, G. ; Becks, K.H. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 89 (1980) 267-270, 1980.
Inspire Record 143938 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.27264

Virtual photoproduction of J/ ψ mesons has been measured for 280 GeV muon iron interactions in an iron/scintillator calorimeter target. The J/ψ's were identified by their decay into muon pairs. 315 events were observed, about half of which were elastic. The t , Q 2 and v distributions of these elastic events are presented. The v dependence is measured between 40 and 180 Mev and compared with lower energy photoproduction results. The Q 2 dependence is compared with the predictions of the vector dominance model.

High Statistics Study of ($\sim$ 10$^6$ events) of $J/\psi$ Production and $\Upsilon$ Production in the energy range 150 to 280 GeV by $\pi^\pm$, $p^\pm$ incident particle

The Saclay-CERN-College de France-Ecole Poly-Orsay collaboration Badier, J. ; Boucrot, J. ; Bourotte, J. ; et al.
AIP Conf.Proc. 68 (1981) 201-204, 1981.
Inspire Record 154782 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.49656

We have performed in the NA3 experiment the study of high mass dimuon production by a hadronic unseparated beam on hydrogen and platinum targets. The comparison of the production cross‐section for proton and antiproton together with the differential cross‐section dσ/dx allows us to compare the data with a production mechanism involving quark‐antiquark and gluon‐gluon interactions. The cosΘ* distribution of the same J/ψ data have also been analysed and results will be presented. Finally we have observed T production from 150 GeV/c incident pions.

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.

A-dependence of Muon Pair Production in $\pi^-$ Nucleus Interactions at 280-{GeV}/$c$

Falciano, S. ; Freudenreich, K. ; Juillot, P. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 104 (1981) 416-420, 1981.
Inspire Record 166161 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31061

We have measured the relative cross sections for muon pair production by 280 GeV/ c negative pions on three different targets: carbon, copper, and tungsten. The value of α obtained from the parametrization σ = constant × A α is 0.94 ± 0.02 ± 0.02, whereas the parametrization σ≈σ 0 ( Z A ) A α′ , where σ 0 ( Z A ) is given by the Drell-Yan model, leads to α ′ = 0.97 ±0.02±0.02. This last result is in agreement with the quark additivity rule which is inherent in the Drell-Yan model, no dependence is observed on the transverse momentum of the muon pair.

Test of Nuclear Effects in Hadronic Dimuon Production

The NA3 collaboration Badier, J. ; Boucrot, J. ; Bourotte, J. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 104 (1981) 335, 1981.
Inspire Record 166153 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31167

We present the final analysis of the nuclear effects on the cross section of dimuon production, using simultaneously a hydrogen and a platinum target in a 150, 200 and 280 GeV pion beam. For the dimuon mass interval 4.1 to 8.5 GeV, the ratio of the cross sections is in agreement with the Drell-Yan model within a 10% error, mainly due to systematics. The variation of this ratio with the dimuon mass, x 1 and x 2 is also in good agreement, and no variation with the transverse momentum is observed.
