We present preliminary results on the production of intermediate mass dimuons in 158 A.GeV In-In collisions at the CERN SPS. NA38 and NA50 observed a strong excess in this region in S-U and Pb-Pb interactions with respect to the dinnion production rate expected from p-A data. Thanks to the use of a pixel vertex telescope, NA60 can separate the prompt dimuons from the pairs resulting from open charm decays and show that the excess dimuons are of prompt origin.

Abstract
We present preliminary results on the production of intermediate mass dimuons in 158 A.GeV In-In collisions at the CERN SPS. NA38 and NA50 observed a strong excess in this region in S-U and Pb-Pb interactions with respect to the dinnion production rate expected from p-A data. Thanks to the use of a pixel vertex telescope, NA60 can separate the prompt dimuons from the pairs resulting from open charm decays and show that the excess dimuons are of prompt origin.
