Copious Direct Photon Production: A Possible Resolution of the Prompt-Lepton Puzzle

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

We propose that all direct leptons not due to vector meson decay can be attributed to the decay of virtual photons. At p⊥≈3 GeV/c, we expect γ / π, the ratio of direct photons to pions, to be about 10 to 20% for sqrt[s]≈20-60 GeV.
