Abstract

For the purpose of performing a highly sensitive study of muon-induced final states containing 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 muons, data have been collected with a new spectrometer in the Fermilab muon beam. Examples of rare multimuon events and first results on J/ψ(3100) production by muons are presented in this report.

Research performed by A.R. Clark, K.J. Johnson, L.T. Kerth, S.C. Loken, T.W. Markiewicz, P.D. Meyers, W.H. Smith, M. Strovink, and W.A. Wenzel (Berkeley); R.P. Johnson, C. Moore, M. Mugge, and R.E. Shafer (Fermilab); G.D. Gollin, F.C. Shoemaker, and P. Surko (Princeton).
