Rapidity Distributions of Dileptons from a Hadronizing Quark-Gluon Plasma
It has been predicted that dilepton production may be used as a quark-gluon
plasma probe. We calculate the rapidity distributions of thermal dileptons
produced by an evolving quark-gluon plasma assuming a longitudinal scaling
expansion with initial conditions locally determined from the hadronic rapidity
density. These distributions are compared with Drell-Yan production and
semileptonic charm decays at invariant mass , 4, and 6 GeV.Comment: 17 pages (standard LaTeX), 6 figures (available as topdraw files or
