Disoriented chiral condensates are manifested as long wavelength pionic
oscillations and their interaction with the thermal environment can be a
significant source of dileptons. We calculate the yield of such dilepton
production within the linear sigma model and illustrate the basic features of
the dilepton spectrum in a schematic model. We find that the dilepton yield
with invariant mass near and below 2mπ​ due to the soft pion modes can be
up to two orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding equilibrium yield.
We conclude with a discussion on how this enhancement can be detected by
present dilepton experiments.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figs, uses epsf and sprocl style files Contribution to
