Abstract

An apparatus consisting of a superconducting solenoid magnet, cylindrical drift-chambers, and two arrays of lead-glass Čerenkov counters has been used at the CERN ISR to study the production of e⁺e^- pairs of invariant mass above 6.5 GeV/c². Cross sections for the continuum and the Υ{hooked} family of resonances are presented, as well as the mean transverse momentum 〈p_T〉 of the electron-positron pairs in the continuum and resonance region.
