After QGP hadronization and  SB, the description of the meson gas must rely on Chiral Perturbation Theory (model independent, chiral power counting p,T << 1 GeV ) Only NGB mesons (and photons) involved. L 2 loops are O(p 2 ), divergences absorbed in L 4 and so on. L2L2 L4L4 L22L22 L6L6 Derivative and mass expansion nonlinear  -model S.Weinberg, ‘79 J.Gasser&H.Leutwyler ’84,’85

Motivation T>0 ChPT pion electromagnetic form factors Thermal  and  poles T>0 ChPT pion electromagnetic form factors

Pion form factors enter directly in the dilepton rate: In the central region the dominant channel is pion annihilation:    e+e+ e-e-    e+e+ e-e-  ~+... (thermal equilibrium)

At T>0 a more general structure is allowed: k = p 1 - p 2 S = p 1 + p 2 ChPT to O(p 4 ) (At T = 0, F t (S 2 )= F s (S 2 ), G s = 0) Related by gauge invariance to  dispersion law in hot matter

Chiral Perturbation Theory provides model-independent predictions for meson gas properties. In one-loop ChPT, we have calculated scattering amplitudes and the two independent form factors, checking gauge invariance and thermal unitarity. The electromagnetic pion radius grows for T>100 MeV, favouring a deconfinement temperature T c ~200 MeV. Imposing unitarity in SU(2) allows to describe the thermal  and  poles in the amplitudes and form factors. Our results show a clear increase of   (T) and a slow M  (T) reduction consistently with theoretical and experimental analysis, including dilepton data.   (T) and M  (T) behave according to Chiral Symmetry Restoration.
