Non-Perturbative Dilepton Production from a Quark-Gluon Plasma

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The dilepton production rate from the quark-gluon plasma is calculated from the imaginary part of the photon self energy using a quark propagator that contains the gluon condensate. The low mass dilepton rate obtained in this way exhibits interesting structures (peaks and gaps), which might be observable at RHIC and LHC.
