Inelastic muon-proton scattering: Multiplicity distributions and prong cross sections

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In a streamer-chamber experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, we observed hadron production in inelastic collisions of 14-GeV positive muons in a liquid hydrogen target. We report on the experiment, the analysis, and the resulting cross sections for hadronic prongs as well as the charged-hadron multiplicity distributions.
