Abstract: | General features of the inclusive hadroproduction of muon pairs of mass greater than 1.5 GeV/c2 are shown. For incident π?, the data extend up to M=5.7 GeV/c2 (i.e.M2/s≈0.4). The scaling cross section M3dσ/dM for π?N reactions is much flatter than that for pN reactions and exceeds the latter by two to three orders of magnitude at large M2/s. |
