Description
Neutrino-induced dimuon events probably involve the production and subsequent decay of one or more real, intermediate particles. The observed properties of dimuon events are shown not to agree with the hypotheses that the intermediate particles are heavy leptons or semiweak vector bosons. This result strongly suggests production of new hadrons as the leading explanation of dimuon events. Such new hadrons, decaying weakly, would necessarily possess a new, as yet unidentified, quantum number
