Recent work reported at the Quark Matter Conference 2005 has led to the suggestion that Brown-Rho scaling is ruled out by the NA60 data. (Brown-Rho scaling describes the reduction of hadronic masses in matter and at finite temperature.) In…
It is pointed out that the comparison between the recent NA60 dimuon data and the so-called "Brown-Rho (BR) scaling" as presented at QM2005 is $not$ founded on a correct interpretation of the prediction of BR scaling as formulated in 1991…
