Dileptons 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 کاملProduction of Dileptons in Heavy Ion Collisions at SPS-Energies
In this contribution we will discuss the production of low mass dileptons in SPSenergy heavy ion collisions. We briefly review the current theoretical situation before we turn to the analysis of the recent data for Pb+Au. We also will discuss the role of baryons as a source for dileptons.
متن کاملVector Mesons in Medium and Dileptons in Heavy-Ion Collisions
The investigation of hadron properties inside atomic nuclei constitutes one of the traditional research objectives in nuclear physics. However, in terms of the underlying theory of strong interactions QCD) even the description of the nuclear ground state remains elusive so far. Valuable insights can be expected from a careful study of transition regimes between hadronic and quark-gluon degrees ...
متن کاملDileptons and Medium Effects in Heavy-Ion Collisions
We discuss the status of calculating in-medium modifications of vector-meson spectral functions in hot and dense matter, their application to dilepton spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, and possible relations to chiral symmetry restoration. We emphasize the importance of constraining in-medium spectral functions by empirical information from scattering data, QCD sum rules, and l...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung Dileptons in Ultra-relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
We consider production of dilepton pairs through coherent electro-magnetic radiation during nuclear collisions. We show that the number of pairs produced through bremsstrahlung is about two orders of magnitude smaller than the yield measured by the CERES collaboration. Therefore, coherent bremsstrahlung can be ruled out as an explanation for the observed enhancement of low mass dileptons in CER...
