ASYMMETRIC PHOTOPRODUCTION OF MUON PAIRS OFF HYDROGEN AS A TEST OF QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS.

Abstract

The paper describes an experiment, performed at the Stanford Mark III electron linear accelerator, which measured the differential cross section for the asymmetric photoproduction of muon pairs from a hydrogen target, gamma-ray + p to negative-muon + positive-muon + p. The negative-muon was detected under conditions where the positive-muon and proton were non-relativistic in the laboratory. The experiment was performed as a test of quantum electrodynamics.
