Prompt Contributions to the Dilepton Yield in Heavy Ion Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
The mass spectrum is calculated for those dileptons which are produced in the early phase of a heavy ion collisions via the direct production NN → l+l−X and via the Compton process GN → l+l−X with prompt gluons radiated in preceding NN interactions. Both mechanisms produce a mass spectrum which decreases steeply with invariant mass of the l+l− pair and which is below the CERES data for Pb-Au collisions by about one order of magnitude.

Electromagnetic probes of the QGP
We investigate the properties of the QCD matter across the deconfinement phase transition in the scope of the parton-hadron string dynamics (PHSD) transport approach. We present here in particular the results on the electromagnetic radiation, i.e. photon and dilepton production, in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. By comparing our calculations for the heavy-ion collisions to the available dat...
متن کاملEarly times and thermalization in heavy ion collisions: a summary of experimental results for photons, light vector mesons, open and hidden heavy flavors
This contribution summarizes the main experimental results presented at the 2009 Quark Matter conference concerning single and dilepton production in proton and heavy ion collisions at high energy. The dilepton invariant mass spectrum has been measured over a range that extends from the π0 mass to the Υ mass, and for various collision energies at SPS, Fermilab, Hera and RHIC. This paper focuses...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Probes of Dense Matter in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions
Dilepton and photon production in heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies is studied in the relativistic transport model that incorporates self-consistently the change of hadron masses in dense matter. It is found that the dilepton spectra in protonnucleus reactions can be well described by the conventional mechanisms of Dalitz decay, primary vector meson decay, decay of charmed mesons, and the in...
متن کاملSeeing phi meson through the dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions
Dilepton spectra from the decay of phi mesons produced in heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies (∼ 2 GeV/nucleon) are studied in the relativistic transport model. We include phi mesons produced from baryon-baryon, pion-baryon, and kaon-antikaon collisions. The cross sections for the first two processes are obtained from an one-boson-exchange model, while that for the last process is taken to...
متن کاملThe Role of Gluons in Dilepton Production from the Quark-Gluon Plasma
We study high mass dilepton production from gluon-induced processes, gq → qγ , gq̄ → q̄γ, and gg → qq̄γ, in a thermally equilibrated but chemically under-saturated partonic matter that is expected to be created in the initial stage of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Regulating the divergence in these processes by the thermal quark mass, we find that gluon-induced processes are more import...
