Phenomenological Applications Dilepton Spectra in Heavy-Ion Collisions Dilepton Production off Nuclei 4.) Chiral Symmetry Restoration QCD +Weinberg Sum Rules Other Multiplets 5.) Conclusions
4.1 QCD + Weinberg Sum Rules [Hatsuda+Lee’91, Asakawa+Ko ’93, Leupold et al ’98, …] r a1 [Weinberg ’67, Das et al ’67; Kapusta+Shuryak ‘94] Dr = rV -rA • accurately satisfied in vacuum • In Medium: condensates from hadron resonance gas, constrained by lattice-QCD T [GeV]
4.2 QCD + Weinberg Sum Rules in Medium → Search for solution for axial-vector spectral function [Hohler +RR ‘13] • quantitatively compatible with (approach to) chiral restoration • strong constraints by combining SRs • Chiral mass splitting “burns off”, resonances melt
4.3 Lattice-QCD Results for N(940)-N(1535) Euclidean Correlator Ratios Exponential Mass Extraction “N(1535)” “Nucleon” R=∫(G+-G-)/(G++G-) [Aarts et al ‘15] • also indicates MN*(T) → MN (T) ≈ MNvac
5.) Conclusions • In-medium r spectral function: - rooted in vacuum spectroscopy and reactions - strongly broadened via interactions w/ baryons (“core” + “cloud”) • Explicit evidence for parton-hadron transition: - rmelting describes dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions • Progress in understanding mechanisms of chiral restoration: - evaporation of chiral r-a1 mass splitting (sum rules, MYM) - similar behavior for p-s, N(940)-N(1535), …
2.2 Transverse-Momentum Dependence pT -Sliced Mass Spectra mT -Slopes x100 • spectral shape as function of pair-pT • entangled with transverse flow (barometer)
4.2 Fireball Temperature Slope of Intermediate-Mass Excess Dileptons • unique ``early” temperature measurement (no blue-shift!) • Ts approaches Ti toward lower energies • first-order “plateau” at BES-II/CBM/NICA?
4.3 Fireball Lifetime Excitation Function of Low-Mass Dilepton Excess Yield 1000 [STAR ‘15] [RR+vanHees ‘14] • Low-mass excess tracks lifetime well (medium effects!) • Tool for critical point search?
4.4 Dileptons at HADES: Coarse Graining • Coarse-graining of hadronic transport to → extract thermodynamic variables → convolute with thermaldilepton rate Temperature + Baryon DensityDilepton Yield vs. Nucleon Flow [Huovinen et al. ’02, Endres et al ’15, Galatyuk et al ‘16] Au-Au (1.23AGeV) • build-up of collectivity EM radiation “thermal” fireball • fireball lifetime “only” tfb ~ 13 fm/c

3.2 Massive Yang-Mills in Hot Pion Gas Temperature progression of vector + axialvector spectral functions • supports “burning” of chiral-mass splitting as mechanism for chiral restoration [as found in sum rule analysis]
4.1 Initial Flow + Thermal Photon-v2 Bulk-Flow Evolution Direct-Photon v2 Ideal Hydro 0-20% Au-Au • initial radial flow: - accelerates bulk v2 - harder radiation spectra (pheno.: coalescence, multi-strange f.o.) • much enhances thermal-photon v2 [He et al ’14]
4.2 Thermal Photon Rates • ``Cocktail” of hadronic sources (available in parameterized form) • Sizable new hadronic sources: pr → gw , pw → gr , rw → gp [Heffernan et al ‘15] [Holt,Hohler+RR in prep] • Hadronic emission rate close to QGP-AMY • semi-QGP much more suppressed [Pisarski et al ‘14]
3.2 Massive Yang-Mills Approach in Vaccum • Gauge r + a1 into chiral pion lagrangian: • problems with vacuum phenomenology → global gauge? • Recent progress: - full rpropagator in a1 selfenergy - vertex corrections to preserve PCAC: [Urban et al ‘02, Rischke et al ‘10] [Hohler +RR ‘14] • enables fit to t-decay data! • local-gauge approach viable • starting point for addressing chiral restoration in medium
