We report on a recent next-to-leading order perturbative determination of the dilepton rate from a hot QCD plasma for frequency and momentum of the order of the temperature and for much smaller invariant mass $Msim gT$. We briefly review the calculation, which generalizes the previous one for the photon case ($M=0$). We then analyze the consequences of the new calculation for the extraction of the photon rate from the small mass dilepton measurements. We then review a recent NLO determination at large $M$ and we show how to match and merge its results with the low-mass ones, resulting in a single rate which is NLO-accurate over the phenomenologically relevant region.

The interaction rate of an ultrarelativistic active neutrino at a temperature below the electroweak crossover plays a role in leptogenesis scenarios based on oscillations between active neutrinos and GeV-scale sterile neutrinos. By making use of a Euclideanization property of a thermal light-cone correlator, we determine the $O(g)$ correction to such an interaction rate in the high-temperature limit $pi T gg m_W$, finding a $sim 15 ... 40%$ reduction. For a benchmark point, this NLO correction decreases the lepton asymmetries produced by $sim 1%$.
We present a computation, within weakly-coupled thermal QCD, of the production rate of low invariant mass ($M^2 sim g^2 T^2$) dileptons, at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the coupling (which is $O(g^3 e^2 T^2)$). This involves extending the NLO calculation of the photon rate which we recently presented to the case of small nonzero photon invariant mass. Numerical results are discussed and tabulated forms and code are provided for inclusion in hydrodynamical models. We find that NLO corrections can increase the dilepton rate by up to 30-40% relative to leading order. We find that the electromagnetic response of the plasma for real photons and for small invariant mass but high energy dilepton pairs (e.g., $M^2 < (300:mathrm{MeV})^2$ but $p_T > 1 : mathrm{GeV}$) are close enough that dilepton pair measurements really can serve as Ersatz photon measurements. We also present a matching a la Ghisoiu and Laine between our results and results at larger invariant masses.
The collinear factorization framework allows to describe the exclusive photoproduction of a $gamma,rho$ pair in the generalized Bjorken regime in terms of a perturbatively calculable coefficient function and universal generalized parton distributions. The kinematics are defined by a large invariant mass of the $gamma rho$ pair and a small transverse momentum of the final nucleon. We calculate the scattering amplitude at leading order in $alpha_s$ and the differential cross sections for the process where the $rho-$meson is either longitudinally or transversely polarized, in the kinematics of the near future Jlab experiments. Our estimate of the cross section demonstrates that this process is measurable at JLab 12-GeV.
We investigate the significance of thermal dilepton radiation in the intermediate-mass region in heavy-ion reactions at CERN-SpS energies. Within a thermal fireball model for the space-time evolution, the radiation from hot matter is found to dominate over hard background processes (Drell-Yan and open charm) up to invariant masses of about 2 GeV, with a rather moderate fraction emerging from early stages with temperatures $Tsimeq 175-200$ MeV associated with deconfined matter. Further including a schematic acceptance for the NA50 experiment we find good agreement with the observed enhancement in the region 1.5 GeV~$<M_{mumu}<$~3 GeV. In particular, there is no need to invoke any anomalous open charm enhancement.
We revisit, improve and complete some recent estimates of the $0^{+}$ and $1^-$ open charm $(bar c bar d)(us)$ tetraquarks and the corresponding molecules masses and decay constants from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) by using QCD Laplace sum rule (LSR) within stability criteria where the factorised perturbative NLO corrections and the contributions of quark and gluon condensates up to dimension-6 in the OPE are included. We confront our results with the $D^-K^+$ invariant mass recently reported by LHCb from $B^+to D^+(D^-K^+)$ decays. We expect that the bump near the $D^-K^+$ threshold can be originated from the $0^{++}(D^-K^+)$ molecule and/or $D^-K^+$ scattering. The prominent $X_{0}$(2900) scalar peak and the bump $X_J(3150)$ (if $J=0$) can emerge from a {it minimal mixing model}, with a tiny mixing angle $theta_0simeq (5.2pm 1.9)^0$, between a scalar {it Tetramole} (${cal T_M}_0$) (superposition of nearly degenerated hypothetical molecules and compact tetraquarks states with the same quantum numbers) having a mass $M_{{cal T_M}_0}$=2743(18) MeV and the first radial excitation of the $D^-K^+$ molecule with mass $M_{(DK)_1}=3678(310)$ MeV. In an analogous way, the $X_1$(2900) and the $X_J(3350)$ (if $J=1$) could be a mixture between the vector {it Tetramole} $({cal T_M}_1)$ with a mass $M_{{cal T_M}_1}=2656(20)$ MeV and its first radial excitation having a mass $M_{({cal T_M}_1)_1}=4592(141)$ MeV with an angle $theta_1simeq (9.1pm 0.6)^0$. A (non)-confirmation of the previous {it minimal mixing models} requires an experimental identification of the quantum numbers of the bumps at 3150 and 3350 MeV.
