Abstract

We have measured the production of

ρ + ω

and

J

vector mesons, through their dimuon decay modes, by high-energy neutrons on nuclear targets at Fermilab. We determined the

A

dependence to be

A^{0.62 \pm 0.03}

for

ρ + ω

,

A^{0.93 \pm 0.04}

for

J

, and

A^{0.85 \pm 0.05}

for the continuum of dimuons between the

ρ + ω

and

J

masses.
