Abstract
32 dimuon and 11 trimuon events are observed in deep inelastic muon interactions at 150 GeV. The rate of diumuon production is greater than 5 × that of inclusive muon scattering. High-inelasticity trimuons occur at a rate one order of magnitude lower. These events are more numerous and the extra muons have qualitatively different production characteristics than muons expected from conventional sources.
