We investigate whether the soft mode that becomes massless at the QCD critical point (CP) causes an enhancement of the dilepton production rate (DPR) and the electric conductivity around the CP through the modification of the photon…
An approach is suggested, invoking vitally the notion of constituent massive quarks (valons) which can survive and propagate rather than hadrons (except of pions) within the hot and dense matter formed below the chiral transition…
The dilepton production rate in hot QCD medium is studied within a effective description of the medium in the presence of magnetic field. This could be done by obtaining the one-loop self energy of photon due to the effective (quasi-) quark…
