Abstract

The A-dependence of the charm production cross section is determined by measuring the yield of prompt single muons in a beam-dump experiment, using a 300 GeV/c proton beam on Al, Fe, and U targets. Assuming that the production cross section varies as A^α, we obtain α(μ⁺)=0.79±0.12 and α(μ^-)=0.76±0.13 in the kinematical region X_F{greater-than or approximate}0.1 of the charm.
