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.

Differential cross sections as a function of transverse momentum are presented for the production at ∼90° (in the c.m. system) of π±, K±, p, and p¯ in p-nucleus collisions at incident proton energies of 200 and 300 GeV.

Production of hadrons with large transverse momentum at 200, 300, and 400 GeV

We have measured, as a function of transverse momentum (p⊥), the invariant cross section Edσd3p for the production of π±, K±, p, p¯, d, and d¯ in proton collisions with a tungsten (W) target at incident proton energies of 200, 300, and 400 GeV. The measurements were made in the region of 90° in the c.m. system of the incident proton and a single nucleon at rest. Measurements were also made with 300-GeV protons incident on Be, Ti, and W targets of equal interaction length. These p-nucleus measurements, which show a strong dependence on atomic number at high p⊥, were used to extract effective proton-nucleon cross sections by extrapolation to atomic number unity. At large values of the scaling variable x⊥=2p⊥s, where s is the square of the c.m. energy, the pion data are found to be well represented by the expression (s)−ne−ax⊥, with n=11.0±0.4 and a=36.0±0.4. x⊥<0.35, where similar measurements have been made at the CERN ISR, our data are in good agreement with the ISR data.

Production of Massive Muon Pairs by 300-GeV and 400-GeV Protons

Kluberg, L. ; Piroue, P.A. ; Sumner, Richard L. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 37 (1976) 1451, 1976.

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.
