title: "Figure 36a" of "Detailed measurement of the $e^+ e^-$ pair continuum in $p+p$ and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV and implications for direct photon production"

description: Ratio of R = (data − cocktail)/$f_{dir}(m_{ee})$ for 0.8 $&lt; p_T &lt;$ 1.0 GeV/c in minimum bias Au$+$Au collisions. The yellow band in each panel shows $\pm1\sigma$ band of a constant fit value to the data points.
description: PHENIX has measured the $e^{+}e^{-}$ pair continuum in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV Au+Au and $p+p$ collisions over a wide range of mass and transverse momenta. The $e^{+}e^{-}$ yield is compared to the expectations from hadronic sources, based on PHENIX measurements. In the intermediate mass region, between the masses of the $\phi$ and the $J/\psi$ meson, the yield is consistent with expectations from correlated $c\bar c$ production, though other mechanisms are not ruled out. In the low mass region (below the $\phi$) the $p+p$ inclusive mass spectrum is well described by known contributions from light meson decays. In contrast, the Au+Au minimum bias inclusive mass spectrum in this region shows an enhancement by a factor of $4.7\pm 0.4^{stat}\pm 1.5^{syst}\pm 0.9^{model}$ At low mass ($m_{ee}$&lt;0.3 GeV/$c^{2}$) and high $p_{T}$ (1&lt;$p_{T}$&lt;5 GeV/$c$) an enhanced $e^{+}e^{-}$ pair yield is observed that is consistent with production of virtual direct photons. This excess is used to infer the yield of real direct photons. In central Au+Au collisions, the excess of the direct photon yield over the $p+p$ is exponential in $p_{T}$, with inverse slope $T = 221\pm 19^{stat}\pm 19^{syst}$ MeV. Hydrodynamical models with initial temperatures ranging from $T_{init} \cong$300--600 MeV at times of 0.6--0.15 fm/$c$ after the collision are in qualitative agreement with the direct photon data in Au+Au. For low $p_{T}$&lt;1 GeV/$c$ the low mass region shows a further significant enhancement that increases with centrality and has an inverse slope of $T\cong$100 MeV. Theoretical models under predict the low mass, low $p_{T}$ enhancement. Error values of 9.99E+9 represent upper limit errors.
