Using next-to-leading-order rates, the paper predicts that dilepton polarization changes sign and magnitude in low and intermediate invariant-mass ranges, making it a sensitive probe of gluonic processes and pre-equilibrium dynamics in heavy-ion collisions.

abstract
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions of light vector mesons within hadronic many-body theory. In the intermediate-mass region thermal radiation from the Quark-Gluon Plasma, evaluated perturbatively with hard-thermal loop corrections, takes over. An important source over the entire mass range are decays of correlated open-charm hadrons, rendering the nuclear modification of charm and bottom spectra a critical ingredient.

Thermal dilepton polarization and dynamics of the QCD plasma in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Using next-to-leading-order rates, the paper predicts that dilepton polarization changes sign and magnitude in low and intermediate invariant-mass ranges, making it a sensitive probe of gluonic processes and pre-equilibrium dynamics in heavy-ion collisions.
