Abstract
An exact one parameter () family of solutions representing scalar field collapse is presented. These solutions exhibit a type of critical behaviour which has been discussed by Choptuik. The three possible evolutions are outlined. For supercritical evolution (when black holes form) I show that a quantity related to the mass of the black hole exhibits a power law dependence on , for near critical evolution . Based on the properties of the solution some comments are also made on conjectures of Choptuik.
