We present the fractional energy distributions for positive and negative hadrons produced in muon-proton and muon-neutron scattering, and ensuing charge ratios for the photon fragmentation region. Data presented for a center-of-mass energy range 2.8<W<4.5 GeV and a virtual-photon mass-squared range 0.5≤Q2≤4.5 GeV2 indicate an overall equality of summed structure functions for neutron and proton targets, which exhibit approximate independence of Q2 and ω′, Implications in terms of quark-fragmentation ideas are discussed.

Precision Comparison of Inelastic electron and Positron Scattering from Hydrogen

Using 13.5-GeV beams at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we have compared electron and positron inelastic scattering over the range 1.2<|q2|<3.3 (GeV/c)2, 2<ν<9.5 GeV for the four-momentum and energy transfers, respectively. We find the ratio of the cross sections to be e+e−=1.0027±0.0035 (including statistical and systematic effects), with no significant dependence on q2 or ν. This result has appreciably smaller errors than previous attempts to find two-photon-exchange effects in electron or muon scattering.

Energy and Momentum Distributions of Muoproduced Hadrons

We present inclusive distributions for final-state hadrons produced in inelastic muon-proton scattering. Over the total energy range 2<W<4.7 GeV and the momentum-transfer range 0.3<Q2<4.5 GeV2, the fractional momentum and energy distributions approximately scale. Distributions in transverse momentum display an interesting two-component behavior. They show no dependence on the virtual-photon "mass squared" Q2, and have average values typical of other hadron-initiated reactions. A comparison of our distributions with those seen in e+e− annihilation and neutrino-nucleon scattering shows agreement, in support of quark-parton fragmentation ideas. We further break these distributions down by event topology.

Inelastic Muon-Proton Scattering: Multiplicity Distributions, and Prong Cross-Sections

Inspire Record 108053 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24754

In a streamer-chamber experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we observed hadron production in inelastic collisions of 14-GeV positive muons in a liquid hydrogen target. We report on the experiment, the analysis, and the resulting cross sections for hadronic prongs as well as the charged-hadron multiplicity distributions.
