Abstract

BB production in π--uranium interactions has been observed at 320 GeV beam energy looking at events with three muons in the final state. The cross section is found to be σBB = 4.5±1.4±1.4 nb per nucleon (for a linear A-dependence) or σBB = 17.6±5.5±5.5 nb per nucleon (assuming A0.75 dependence). An estimate of xF distribution is given.
