Abstract
We have performed a high-sensitivity search for massive long-lived particles produced at 2.5 mrad by 400-GeV/c protons on a beryllium target using time-of-flight, Cherenkov, and calorimetric techniques. A total of 10{sup 11} light particles ({pi}{sup -},K{sup -},{bar p}) was sampled at 70 GeV/c. This experiment places a limit of 1.1 x 10{sup -37} cm{sup 2}/(GeV/c){sup 2} {center_dot} nucleon on the invariant cross section for the production of stable particles in the mass range of 4 to 10 GeV/c{sup 2}.
