Lepton pair production in a charged quark gluon plasma

Abstract

We investigate the effects of a charge asymmetry on the spectrum of dileptons radiating from a quark gluon plasma. We demonstrate the existence of a new set of processes in this regime. The dilepton production rate from the corresponding diagrams is shown to be as important as that obtained from the Born-term quark-antiquark annihilation.
