Dilepton Production from Dropping rho in the Vector Manifestation

Abstract

In this write-up we summarize the main result of our analysis on the thermal dilepton production rate from the dropping rho based on the vector manifestation (VM). In the analysis, we showed that the effect of the strong violation of the vector dominance (VD) predicted by the VM, substantially suppresses the dilepton production rate compared with the one predicted by assuming the VD together with the dropping rho.
