Direct virtual photon production in Au+Au collisions at
Abstract
We report the direct virtual photon invariant yields in the transverse momentum ranges and at mid-rapidity derived from the dielectron invariant mass continuum region for 0–80% minimum-bias Au+Au collisions at . A clear excess in the invariant yield compared to the nuclear overlap function scaled reference is observed in the range . For the production follows scaling. Model calculations with contributions from thermal radiation and initial hard parton scattering are consistent within uncertainties with the direct virtual photon invariant yield.

abstractNote = {We report the direct virtual photon invariant yields in the transverse momentum ranges 1<pT<3GeV/c and 5<pT<10GeV/c at mid-rapidity derived from the dielectron invariant mass continuum region 0.10<Mee<0.28GeV/c2 for 0–80% minimum-bias Au+Au collisions at sNN=200GeV. A clear excess in the invariant yield compared to the nuclear overlap function TAA scaled p+p reference is observed in the pT range 1<pT<3GeV/c. For pT>6GeV/c the production follows TAA scaling. Model calculations with contributions from thermal radiation and initial hard parton scattering are consistent within uncertainties with the direct virtual photon invariant yield.},
