Description

The authors have studied dilepton production in a chemically equilibrating quark-gluon matter produced at RHIC energies. The authors find that the dilepton yield is no longer a monotonically decreasing function of the initial quark chemical potential. Therefore, the dilepton suppression may not be useful as a signature for quark-gluon matter formation
