摘要
The NA60 experiment has studied low-mass muon pair production in proton-nucleus (p-A) collisions with a system of Be, Cu, In, W, Pb and U targets using a 400 GeV/c proton beam at the CERN SPS. Thanks to the collected data sample of 180,000 low-mass muon pairs, the most precise measurement currently available was performed for the electromagnetic transition form factors of the eta and omega mesons. The rho-line shape was quantitatively investigated, and its effective temperature measured for the first time in elementary collisions. The transverse momentum spectra for the rho/omega and phi mesons have been studied in the full p(T) range accessible, up to 2 GeV/c. The cross section ratios sigma(rho)/sigma(omega) and sigma(phi)/sigma(omega) have been considered in full p(T) as a function of the size of the production target. The nuclear dependence of the production cross sections of the 71, w and 0 mesons has finally been studied in terms of the power law sigma(pA) proportional to A(alpha), where the a parameter has been found to increase as a function of p(T).
