Dilepton emission and the QCD phase transition in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
Abstract
The emission of dileptons from a matter distribution undergoing longitudinal hydrodynamic expansion as might be produced in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions is computed. Contributions come from quark-gluon plasma, from pion gas, and from a mixed phase while the matter undergoes a first-order confinement phase transition. This yield is compared with that expected from other sources. It is found that the signals from quark-gluon plasma and pion gas probably exceed such background for sufficiently high initial temperature. The ratio of dilepton rapidity density to the square of the pion rapidity density may provide a measurement of the phase transition temperature. The dilepton mass distribution for various values of transverse energy may provide a measure of vector-meson masses as a function of temperature, and a mass shift due to the restoration of chiral symmetry might be seen.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
