We study the exclusive electroproduction of a photon pair in the kinematical regime where the diphoton invariant mass is large and where the nucleon flies almost in its original direction. We discuss the relative importance of the QCD…
The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass $Q$ and transverse momentum $Q_T$ can be described in perturbative QCD by the same partonic subprocesses as prompt photon production. We demonstrate that, like prompt photon production, lepton…
We analyze the dilepton emission rates from the hot pion gas confined to a finite space-time volume. Two models of pion(+) pion(-) annihilation to dileptons are under consideration. The first model mimics an extreme influence of the dense…

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted during the whole course of a heavy-ion collision and can escape from the collision zone without further interactions. This makes it an ideal tool to study the properties of hot and dense QCD matter. To…
