A measurement of the inclusive differential Drell-Yan cross-section with dimuons at sqrt.s = 1.8 TeV

The inclusive differential Drell-Yan cross section is measured from the analysis of \bar{p}p\toγ\toμ\sp+μ\sp-X events at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The dimuon events are accepted in the central pseudorapidity region of $-0.6<\eta<0.6$ of the CDF detector. The differential cross section dσ/dMdY\vert\sb{Y=0} is measured for dimuon invariant masses between 11 GeV/c$\sp2$ and 40 GeV/c$\sp2$ and is compared to next-to-leading order theoretical predictions. The σ(Z\sp\circ\toμ\sp+μ\sp-) cross section is also measured.
