Production of dimuons in 16-GeV/c πp interactions and the observation of a low-mass continuum of unfamiliar origin
AbstractAbstract
[en] A clear, prompt dimuon signal has been observed in a low-statistics streamer-chamber experiment with 16-GeV/c πp interactions. The good mass resolution makes it possible to identify the contributions from rho and ω decays and eta and ω Dalitz decays. An excess of events is observed in the mass region approx.400-600 MeV which is not accounted for by the above-mentioned decays
