Dileptons from $\eta_c$ in Nucleus-Nucleus collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

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\eta_c 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 explanations based on glueball production for Pb-Pb data are discussed.
