Rescattering production of dileptons in nucleus-nucleus collisions

  • Published:

Abstract

We present a space-time formulation for the rescattering of hard partons produced in primary QCD subcollisions within a nucleus-nucleus collision. As an application we calculate the rescattering rate for dilepton production in 100 GeV/A+100 GeV/A uranium-uranium collisions.
