Descrizione
Dielectrons are unique observables in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion
collisions. Thanks to their penetrating nature, they carry information
from all stages of the collision and can provide knowledge about
pre-equilibirium dynamics, QGP temperature and transport coefficients,
and chiral symmetry restauration. On the other hand, experimental challenges are enormous because production cross sections are small and the signal of interest is eclipsed by a huge combinatorial and physics background from light- and heavy-flavour hadron decays. In this talk the status of dielectron measurements with ALICE is shown and the perspectives with the recently installed ALICE detector upgrades are discussed.
