abstract

Production of electron-positron pairs with invariant masses less than 300 MeV from thermalized hadronic matter in relativistic heavy ion collisions is calculated using a soft virtual photon approximation. The general theoretical framework is reviewed and extended to include arbitrarily massed and charged reaction partners, which we apply to pions and quarks. This result, exact within the soft photon approximation, is compared with a widely used approximate result which uses an electromagnetic amplitude limited in validity to momentum transfers less than $4m_{\pi(q)}^{2}$. A comparison is made between the rate of production of zero total momentum soft dileptons obtained using resummation techniques in QCD perturbation theory to that which we calculate using this soft photon approximation.

Thermal dilepton production within conformal viscous Gubser flow

hep-ph · 2025-06-02 · conditional · novelty 5.0

Thermal dilepton yields and effective temperatures are computed for conformal viscous Gubser flow, showing larger yields for lower q (larger systems) and higher effective temperatures for smaller systems.
