The differential cross sections of π − and π + meson production at a laboratory angle of 159° in collisions of 15–65 GeV protons with Be, C, Al, Ti, Mo and W targets are measured. The data are presented in the tables for Lorentz-invariant cross sections over the momentum range of pions from 0.25 to 0.95 GeV/ c . The slopes (“temperatures”) of a cumulative part of the pion spectra (the pion kinetic energy is >0.35 GeV) increase by 15–20% with changing A from 9 up to 184. Some discrepancy in the E -dependence of the temperature of the cumulative pion spectra is observed in the high-energy region studied, namely the temperature at 15–65 GeV, taking its slow rise over this range into account, contradicts that at 400 GeV.

We have observed muon pairs with effective masses in the range 7<~Mμμ<~11 GeV/c2 produced by 300- and 400-GeV protons incident on a Cu target at Fermilab. The production cross section per nucleon, dσdMμμ, for 400-GeV incident protons is found to fall from 1 × 10−36 cm2/(GeV/c2) at Mμμ=7.7 GeV/c2 to 2.7 × 10−38 cm2/(GeV/c2) at Mμμ=11.2 GeV/c2. We find that a significant fraction of the observed direct single muons come from high-mass dimuons.
