Effect of magnetic field on dilepton production in a hot plasma
Abstract
Noncentral collision of heavy ions can generate large magnetic field in its neighbourhood. We describe a method to calculate the effect of this field on the dilepton emission rate from the colliding region, when it reaches thermal equilibrium. It is calculated in the real time method of thermal field theory. We find that the rate is affected significantly only for lower momenta of dileptons.
