Enhancement of low-mass dileptons in heavy ion collisions.

چکیده
Using a relativistic transport model for the expansion stage of S+Au collisions at 200 GeV/nucleon, we show that the recently observed enhancement of low-mass dileptons by the CERES collaboration can be explained by the decrease of vector meson masses in hot and dense hadronic matter.

Enhancement of Intermediate Mass Dileptons From Charm Decays At SPS Energies
We study the dimuon yield from open charm decays in the intermediate mass region(IMR) in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN-SPS energy. We find that final state rescatterings which broaden the mT spectrum of charmed mesons can enrich the part of the phase space covered by the NA50 experiment, thus leading to an apparent enhancement of IMR dileptons within the acceptance of the experiment. Such an...
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 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 کاملEffects of in-medium vector meson masses on low-mass dileptons from SPS heavy-ion collisions
Using a relativistic transport model to describe the expansion of the firecylinder formed in the initial stage of heavy-ion collisions at SPS/CERN energies, we study the production of dileptons with mass below about 1 GeV from these collisions. The initial hadron abundance and their momentum distributions in the fire-cylinder are determined by following the general features of the results from ...
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...
