Pion form factors enter directly in the dilepton rate: In the central region the dominant channel is pion annihilation: e+ p+ p+ e+ g r g (thermal equilibrium) ~ + ... e- e- p- p-
At T>0 a more general structure is allowed: k = p1- p2 S = p1+ p2 Related by gauge invariance to p dispersion law in hot matter ChPT to O(p4) (At T = 0, Ft (S2)= Fs(S2), Gs= 0)
T>0 ChPT calculation to O(p4): L2 one loop L4 tree level (including renormalization) T0 limit (J.Gasser&H.Leutwyler 1984). Gauge invariance condition. Thermal perturbative unitarity in the c.o.m. frame (see later)

Chiral Perturbation Theory provides model-independent predictions for meson gas properties. In one-loop ChPT, we have calculated scattering amplitudes and the two independent form factors, checking gauge invariance and thermal unitarity. The electromagnetic pion radius grows for T>100 MeV, favouring a deconfinement temperature Tc~200 MeV. Imposing unitarity in SU(2) allows to describe the thermal r and s poles in the amplitudes and form factors. Our results show a clear increase of Gr(T) and a slow Mr(T) reduction consistently with theoretical and experimental analysis, including dilepton data. Gs(T) and Ms(T) behave according to Chiral Symmetry Restoration. Angular dependence, plasma expansion, K+K- f e+e-, baryon density, hadronic photon spectrum, ... CONCLUSIONS
