Dileptons in High-Energy Heavy-Ion Collisions

Abstract

The current status of our understanding of dilepton production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed with special emphasis on signals from the (approach towards) chirally restored and deconfined phases. In particular, recent results of the CERN-SPS low-energy runs are compared to model predictions and interpreted. Prospects for RHIC experiments are given.
