Abstract

Prompt dimuon production has been measured. Events with mass up to 25

{G e V / c}^{2}

are observed, as well as the

J

and

ϒ

resonances. Cross sections are given for

J

and

ϒ

production. For the continuum, the scaling function

F (τ)

is measured at very small values of

\sqrt{τ} = \frac{m}{\sqrt{s}}

covering the range

0.05 < \sqrt{τ} < 0.20

.
