Hadronic Many Body Theory



The in-medium vector meson self-energy is related to the forward two-body scattering amplitude of the surrounding thermal mesons(.ie.ρπ->a1)[R. Rapp, Phys. Rev. C63, 054907 (2001)]

Thermal dilepton spectra

• Including the in-meidum ρ, ω and φ sources

•Thermal dilepton are dominated by the in- medium

ρ meson in LMR.

•the ω compontent is submerged under the

broadening ρ spectra.

•The partonic phase dominated the dilepton yields

for their invariant mass M>1.1GeV.

•w/(w/o) chemical freezeout process(EOS

Non-zero chemical potential below Tchem

No chemical freeze out process


Effective parameter and elliptic flow

Teff(slope parameter) in the intermediate mass region shows the collectivity developed in the partonic stage.

The decline near rho mass reveals a phase transition from partonic phase to hadronic phase.

Dilepton at thermal freeze out



The vector meson momentum spectra at thermal freezeout can be expressed by the extended Cooper-Frye formular[van Hees and R. Rapp, Nucl. Phys. A806, 339 (2008)]

The dilepton emission rate from the freezeout vector meson is given by

The imaginary parts of the and propagators can be given by the Breit-Wigner formula

Most of the ρ decay in the medium due to its short lifetime.

Dilepton at thermal freeze out



• The medium effects have been included in the

freeze out contribution, the broadening of ρ is

even more obvious

•Only a much lower peak from the in-medium φ

meson is invisible, indicating clear medium effects

•Substracting these sharp peaks from ω and φ the

broadened spectrum of the in-medium ρ meson

can be seen.

•The partonic contribution dominates over the

hadronic one when M>1.1GeV

Summary


Hadron2011, WeiHaiSummary

•Dilepton signals serve as clean probes to the hot and dense medium

created in HIC

•Dileptons production from partonic phase, hadronic phase and

freeze out vector hadrons in heavy ion collision at RHIC energy are

investigated.

•The medium modification of vector mesons are employ in our

calculations.

•Charmed background is a significant impact in accessing medium

physics in both IMR and LMR.
