[Theory-seminars] reminder: theory seminar today, Ralf Rapp, 1:00pm, L104

[Bernhard Musch]

Dear all,

we will have a theory seminar today:

Theory Seminar, Monday, Mar 28, 1:00 pm, room L104
=================================================================

Ralf Friedrich Rapp, Texas A&M University

*rho-Mesons in Medium at RHIC and JLAB*

Dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions is considered as one
of the best probes of the medium formed in these reactions. Once
produced, the dilepton will escape the fireball and provide direct
information on the electromagnetic spectral function in the medium.
For low masses (M<1GeV) the emission rate is dominated by decays
of the rho-meson. I will discuss the general objectives underlying
these studies, as well as calculations of the in-medium rho
spectral function and its phenomenology in heavy-ion collisions.
The same framework is applied to rho photoproduction off nuclei as
measured at JLAB. The results suggest an interpretation in terms
of "quark-hadron duality" in a hot and/or dense medium.
