Abstract

We present measurements of the differential cross section for the production of massive muon pairs in 225-GeV/c - nucleus collisions. We have used the data between the and resonances in the framework of the Drell-Yan quark-antiquark annihilation model to predict the behavior of the cross section in the high-mass (m>11 GeV/c2) region. The data are consistent with this extrapolation provided that a QCD leading-logarithmic evolution is included in the structure functions.
