Dilepton spectra from the decay of phi mesons produced in heavy-ion collisions at SIS/GSI energies ($\sim 2$ GeV/nucleon) are studied in the relativistic transport model. We include phi mesons produced from baryon-baryon, pion-baryon, and…

Invariant pT spectra and rapidity densities covering a large rapidity range(-0.1 < y < 3.5) are presented for $\pi^{\pm}$ and $K^{\pm}$ mesons from central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62.4 GeV. The mid-rapidity yields of meson…
We present a study of $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ lepton pair production in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.5 TeV. The larger $\tau^{\pm}$ mass ($\sim$ 1.77 GeV) compared to $e^{\pm}$ and $\mu^{\pm}$ leads to considerably small hadronic…

The inclusive K+ mesons production in proton-nucleus collisions in the near threshold and subthreshold energy regimes is analyzed with respect to the one-step (pN->K+YN, Y=Lambda,Sigma) and the two-step (pN->NNpi, NN2pi; piN->K+Y)…
Due to their weak coupling to the strongly interacting matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, dileptons serve as a sensitive probe of the initial geometry of the colliding nuclei. In this study, we investigate the influence…

Leptons do not interact strongly with the hot dense medium created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. They can escape the interaction region undistorted and thus carry direct information about the space-time evolution of the expanding…
It is shown that production of low-mass $e^+e^-$-pairs in ultraperipheral nuclear collisions is enhanced due to the Sommerfeld-Gamow-Sakharov (SGS) factor. This effect is especially strong near the threshold of creation of unbound…
