Abstract: (APS)

We report results on the production of muon pairs in the mass range 2.5 to 20 GeV in 400-GeV proton-nucleus collisions. A total of 159 events are observed in the mass range 5.5 to 11 GeV with a cross section which is in agreement with the previous observation of a high-mass dielectron continuum signal in this interval. Details on the production dynamics and comparisons with parton-model predictions are presented. Within limitations of resolution and continuum uncertainty, the dimuon mass spectrum provides no evidence for fine structure above 5 GeV.
