Probing Chiral Symmetry Restoration with Heavy Ions

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is discussed how chiral symmetry restoration manifests itself through mixing of vector and axial-vector correlators. The vector correlator is directly accessible in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Within models of the vector correlator its implications for low-mass dilepton spectra are reviewed.
