Abstract: (APS)
In a large-acceptance spectrometer at Fermilab, we have searched for multimuon events produced in collisions of 225-GeV/c protons and π± mesons with nuclei. In particular, additional muons accompanying the Jψ→μμ decay could signal charmed-particle production. For all data combined, the 90%-confidence limit on charmed-particle production in association with the Jψ is σJCC¯σJ<0.01; the limit on production of Jψ pairs is σJJσJ<0.021. Limits are also given for each beam particle separately.
