Nonperturbative dilepton production from a quark-gluon plasma

Abstract
The dilepton production rate from the quark-gluon plasma is calculated from the imaginary part of the photon self-energy using a quark propagator that contains the gluon condensate. The low mass dilepton rate obtained in this way exhibits interesting structures (peaks and gaps), which might be observable at the relativistic heavy-ion collider and large hadron collider.
