Assuming that gluon condensates are important even above the deconfining
phase transition, we develop a model for the dilepton yield from a quark gluon
plasma. Using a simple fire ball description of a heavy ion collision, and
various estimates of the strengths of the gluon condensates, we compare our
predicted dilepton yields with those observed in the CERES and HELIOS
experiments at CERN. The simple model gives an adequate description of the
data, and in particular it explains the observed considerable enhancement of
the yield in the low mass region.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, reference adde
