For muon pairs with invariant mass greater than 11:5 GeV, transverse momentum p (μ) > 4 GeV and pseudorapidity σ(μ) < 2:1, a t to the dimuon pT(μ+μ-) distribution results in a measured cross section of η(p → pμ+μ -p) = 3:38+0:58 0:55 (stat:)±0:16 (syst:)±0:14 (lumi:) pb, consistent with the theoretical prediction evaluated with the event generator Lpair. The ratio to the predicted cross section is 0:83+0:14 -0:13 (stat:) ± 0:04 (syst:) ± 0:03 (lumi:). The characteristic distributions of the muon pairs produced via fusion, such as the muon acoplanarity, the muon pair invariant mass and transverse momentum agree with those from the theory.
