Dileptons from P-Nucleus Collisions
Recent results from fixed-target dimuon production experiments at Fermilab are presented. Various QCD tests using dilepton production data are discussed. We emphasize that clear evidence for scaling violation in the Drell-Yan process remains to be established. Further theoretical and experimental work are needed to understand the polarization of the Drell-Yan pairs. We also discuss the nuclear ...
متن کاملDileptons in Heavy-Ion Collisions
Due to their penetrating nature, dileptons are a valuable probe for the properties of the hot and/or dense medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Dilepton invariant-mass spectra provide direct access to the properties of the electromagnetic current-correlation function in strongly interacting matter. In this paper an overview is given of our current theoretical understanding of th...
متن کاملDileptons from η c in Nucleus - Nucleus collisions
Preliminary estimates suggest that excess dimuon production with invariant mass in the range 1.5 – 2.5 GeV in nucleus-nucleus collisions can be explained on the basis of ηc production. This appears to be consistent with all the peripheral and central collision data with various nuclei such as S-U at 200 GeV/nucleon except for the central collision data on Pb-Pb at 158 GeV/nucleon. Some explanat...
متن کاملIntermediate mass dileptons in relativistic nuclear collisions
We consider the production of lepton pairs with intermediate masses, in relativistic nuclear collisions. Thermal sources are briefly discussed, as well as a newer production mechanism which involves jet-plasma interactions. Estimates for high pT lepton pairs are provided.
متن کاملThermal dileptons in high-energy nuclear collisions
Clear signs of excess dileptons above the known sources were found at the SPS since long. However, a real clarification of these observations was only recently achieved by NA60, measuring dimuons with unprecedented precision in 158A GeV In-In collisions. The excess mass spectrum in the region M<1 GeV is consistent with a dominant contribution from ππ → ρ → μμ annihilation. The associated ρ spec...
