Muon pairs with effective masses in the range 7< or =M/sub ..mu..//sub ..mu../< or =11 GeV/c/sup 2/ have been produced by 300- and 400-GeV protons incident on a Cu target at Fermilab. The production cross section per nucleon, dsigma/dM/sub ..mu..//sub ..mu../, for 400-GeV incident protons is found to fall from 1 x 10/sup -36/ cm/sup 2//(GeV/c/sup 2/) at M/sub ..mu..//sub ..mu../=7.7 GeV/c/sup 2/ to 2.7 x 10/sup -38/ cm/sup 2//(GeV/c/sup 2/) at M/sub ..mu..//sub ..mu../=11.2 GeV/c/sup 2/. A significant fraction of the observed direct single muons come from high-mass dimuons. (AIP)
