Abstract

An overview is given of the results on the production of e⁺e^- pairs for Pb-Au collisions at the SPS beam energy of 40 AGeV, where a lower temperature and a higher baryon density are expected as compared to 158 AGeV. The enhancement factor relative to the expectation from meson decays is shown to be 5.9±1.5(stat)±1.2(syst data)±1.8(syst decays).
