Study of Scaling in Hadronic Production of Dimuons

Abstract

We present proton-nucleus dimuon-production cross sections for masses between 4 and 15 GeV, center-of-mass rapidities between -0.23 and 0.6 and incident energies of 200, 300, and 400 GeV. The data confirm scaling to the 20% level. The dependence of continuum $〈{p}_{T}〉$ on beam energy is also presented.
