The diffractive production of $$\rho$$ mesons. has been observed in the scattering of 147 GeV muons by deuterium. The pion pair from p decay and the scattered (triggering) muon were observed and momentum analyzed by a wide aperture spectrometer featuring a 74 KGm magnet. Out of over 100,000 analyzed triggers 459 events ascribed to this exclusive channel were used for the extraction of differential cross sections for the process in four different bins in $Q^2$ , the square of the four-momentum transfer to the virtual photon which mediates the muon interaction....
