Abstract

We present a simple model for the dimuon production from the decay of vector mesons which are hadronized from a baryon-free quark-gluon plasma. Continuous decay of vector mesons in the medium is known to enhance the dimuon production and in our model we can estimate the total yield of dimuons decayed from vector mesons through the rate equations for the number of vector mesons of interest. Muon pair production critically depends on the time duration of both the mixed and hadronic phases. Results are discussed in view of possible measurements in experiments.
