A Dependence of Hadron Production in Inelastic Muon Scattering and Dimuon Production by Protons

Abstract

The A dependence of the production of hadrons in inelastic muon scattering and of the production of dimuons in high $Q^2$ proton interactions are simply related. Feynman x distributions and z scaling distributions in nuclei are compared with energy loss models. Suggestions for new data analyses are presented.
