The paper
Abstract
We perform a systematic study of dilepton emission in a hot QCD medium based on three different scenarios of chiral mixing, each of which yields a characteristic structure in the vector spectral function. The in-medium spectral functions are accommodated into the state-of-the-art hydrodynamic simulations for a relativistic viscous fluid to calculate the dilepton production rate, fully accounting for the space-time evolution of a created fireball in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We demonstrate that the low-temperature theorem of chiral mixing extrapolated toward a chiral crossover, often used in the literature, leads to critical shortcomings: the inadequacy of width broadening, and a substantial overestimate of the dilepton yield maximized around the invariant mass of M = 1.2 GeV. The proper prescription offers a milder yet sizable increase in the window of 1.1 < M < 1.4 GeV as the direct signature of chiral symmetry restoration.

We find that the scenario with proper chiral symmetry restoration that takes into account the degenerate $\rho$ and $a_1$ mesons leads to an increase of the yield in the window of $1.1<M<1.4$ GeV.
