Abstract

Using a 320 GeV cπ^- beam incident on three different target materials Al, Fe, and U, the A-dependence of charm production is studied by measuring the yield of prompt single muons. Parametrizing the charm cross section as σ_cc(π^-A) = σ₀Aα the measured α values are α(μ⁺) = 0.76 ± 0.08 and α(μ^-) = 0.83 ± 0.06.
