NA60 and BR Scaling in Terms of the Vector Manifestation: A Model Approach

Abstract

It is pointed out that the comparison between the recent NA60 dimuon data and the so-called "Brown-Rho (BR) scaling" as presented at QM2005 is $not$ founded on a correct interpretation of the prediction of BR scaling as formulated in 1991 and modernized recently and hence the conclusion drawn by both the experimental and theoretical speakers that "BR scaling is ruled out by NA60" is erroneous and should be disregarded. We use a simplified model description of how the vector manifestation of hidden local symmetry theory enters into the dilepton production, relegating more rigorous discussions to a follow-up paper.
