Dilepton production from pion-pion annihilation in a hot hadronic matter is studied using an effective chiral Lagrangian that includes explicitly vector mesons. We find that the production rate for dileptons with invariant ...

Dilepton production from resonance scattering in hot hadronic matter is studied. Including the widths of these resonances, which enhance the phase space for dilepton production, we find that the production rate is significantly ...
