High-resolution measurement of massive-dielectron production in 800-GeV proton-beryllium collisions

The hadronic production of dielectrons in the UPSILON region has beenmeasured with a mass resolution of 0.17% using incident protons with momentumof 800 GeV//ital c/. The cross sections of the UPSILON resonances are comparedwith the predictions of a gluon-fusion model. The dielectron continuum is al...

Zusammenfassung:The hadronic production of dielectrons in the UPSILON region has beenmeasured with a mass resolution of 0.17% using incident protons with momentumof 800 GeV//ital c/. The cross sections of the UPSILON resonances are comparedwith the predictions of a gluon-fusion model. The dielectron continuum is alsocompared with the Drell-Yan prediction, and the /ital K/ factor is extracted.The results on the mean transverse momentum of the resonances and that of thecontinuum are also presented.
