Dilepton production during the chemical equilibration of quark-gluon matter
with a finite baryon density has been studied. We End that due to the slow
ing down of the cooling rate and the high initial temperature of the quark-
gluon matter produced at RHIC energies, the quark phase contribution to dil
eptons with intermediate masses is significantly heightened and is much lar
ger than that calculated by the evolution of the thermodynamic equilibrium
system. The latter has shown an enhancement of intermediate mass dileptons
from the quark phase. Therefore, such an enhancement of dileptons should be
a signature for quark-gluon matter formation.
