Dilepton production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions

Abstract
The production of dileptons is studied within a hadronic transport model. We investigate the sensitivity of the dilepton spectra to the initial configuration of the hadronic phase in a ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collision. Possible in-medium corrections due to the modifications of pions and the pion form factor in a hadronic gas are discussed. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
