Abstract
In an experiment performed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the production of massive muon pairs in 225-GeV/c - nucleus interactions has been studied for four nuclear targets. Comparison of the relative cross sections enables the dependence on atomic weight A to be determined. If this dependence is parametrized such that the dimuon production cross section is proportional to A this experiment yields =0.980.04 for 4<m<8.5 GeV/c2, where m is the invariant mass of the muon pair.
