Abstract
We investigate the implications of the SLAC data on production and decay of the new 3.1-GeV resonance for the cross section observed at Brookhaven assuming dominance of the Drell-Yan quark-antiquark annihilation mechanism. Consistency of the predicted magnitude with experiment may be obtained, given certain assumptions which shed light on the nature of the new resonance. Corresponding expectations for the 3.7-GeV resonance are discussed.Keywords
