Phys. Rev. C 57, 882–888 (1998)Low-mass dileptons at 200 GeV/nucleonReceived 31 October 1996; revised 10 October 1997; published in the issue dated February 1998 We use a simple QCD-based model to study particle production in S+Au collisions at 200 GeV/nucleon. A requisite consistency is met for the hadronic observables (π0 and π- spectra) while pursuing estimates for e+e- production. Since radiative decays of initially produced hadrons has accounted for only a portion of the observed dileptons at the CERN SPS, we search for additional mechanisms. By including contributions from prompt secondary hadronic scatterings, πρ⃗πe+e-, and adding to π+π- annihilation and hadronic decays, part of the “excess” dilepton signal can possibly be interpreted. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
