Thermal dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions at beam-energy-scan (BES) energies

Abstract

The lepton pair production rate at finite temperature and at next-to-leading-order (NLO) is calculated for quark-gluon plasma at non-zero baryon density. Yields are obtained using a (3+1)D multicomponent simulation capable of reproducing hadronic observables measured in the RHIC Beam Energy Scan. Spectra of intermediate invariant mass dileptons are compared with measurements from the STAR collaboration. The result of a study where the temperature information obtained from the dilepton spectrum from heavy-ion collisions performed at different energies and centralities is presented.
