We have measured the inclusive production of massive dimuons (7 < or = M/sub mumu/GeV/c/sup 2/) by 200-, 300-, and 400-GeV protons incident on Cu in order to check whether the dimensionless cross section M/sub mumu3/(dsigma/dM/sub mumu d yy-italic/=0 is a function of M/sub mumu2//s alone, where s is the square of the c.m. energy. The results support the scaling hypothesis.
