Cross sections for the production of high-mass muon pairs from 800 GeV proton bombardment of [sup 2]H

Absolute cross sections as functions of kinematic variables are presented for the production of muon pairs from 800 GeV proton bombardment of [sup 2]H. Drell-Yan (continuum) dimuons were recorded in the mass regions 4.5[le][ital M][sub [mu]][sup +][mu][sup [minus]][le]9 GeV and [ital M][sub [mu]][su...

Description
Summary:Absolute cross sections as functions of kinematic variables are presented for the production of muon pairs from 800 GeV proton bombardment of [sup 2]H. Drell-Yan (continuum) dimuons were recorded in the mass regions 4.5[le][ital M][sub [mu]][sup +][mu][sup [minus]][le]9 GeV and [ital M][sub [mu]][sup +][mu][sup [minus]][ge]11 GeV, with an [ital x]-Feynman range [minus]0.1[le][ital x][sub [ital F]][le]0.75. This range corresponds to smaller masses and larger values of [ital x][sub [ital F]] than previous 800 GeV Drell-Yan data. Cross sections for the [Upsilon](1[ital S]) resonance are also given versus the transverse momentum and [ital x][sub [ital F]].
