Electromagnetic Signals of Hot Hadronic Matter

Abstract

The photon and dilepton emission rates from quark gluon plasma and hot hadronic matter have been evaluated. The in-medium modifications of the particles appearing in the internal loop of the self energy diagram are taken into account by using a phenomenological effective Lagrangian approach, Brown-Rho and Nambu scaling scenarios. We note that the in-medium effects on the low invariant mass distribution of dilepton and transverse momentum spectra of photon are clearly visible.
