Description

Electron-positron pairs are penetrating probes of Quark-Gluon Plasma created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. They can provide information deep into the system and early time.

In heavy ion collisions, we use electron-positron tomography to search for signatures of chiral symmetry restoration and study the temperature and lifetime of hot, dense medium.

In this talk, I will review recent results and discuss future perspectives.
