Trimuon production inpp¯collisions

Trimuon events in pp¯ collisions are a probe of heavy flavors: certain classes of events offer clean signatures for new physics beyond bb¯ pair creation. We evaluate the expectations for trimuon production at the CERN pp¯ collider, with realistic acceptance cuts, including possible new-physics effects from t quarks, $D^0$-D¯ ${}_{}{}^0{}_{}{}^{}$ mixing, fourth-generation v quarks, and bb¯cc¯ creation.
