Abstract
Results on the production of charged hadrons in muon-deuteron and muon -xenon interactions are presented. The data were taken with the E665 s pectrometer, which was exposed to the 490 GeV muon beam of the Tevatro n at Fermilab. The use of a streamer chamber as vertex detector provid es nearly 4 pi acceptance for charged particles. The muD data are comp ared with the muXe data in terms of multiplicity distributions, averag e multiplicities, forward-backward multiplicity correlations, rapidity and transverse momentum distributions and of two-particle rapidity co rrelations of charged hadrons. The data cover a range of invariant had ronic masses W from 8 to 30 GeV.
