Informal Pizza SeminarDilepton Emission from Dense Quark MatterPrashanth JaikumarMcGillSufficiently dense quark matter can form a color superconductor, with gaps as large as 100 MeV. Photon propagation is modified in this phase, with consequences for the dilepton emission rates, which are effective probes of the early hot and dense quark-gluon phase in heavy-ion collisions. I will discuss how these rates compare to an unpaired quark phase as well as a hot hadronic gas phase. I will also present a way to include contributions from `vector mesons' in the color superconducting phase.
