摘要：

The e+e- spectrum resulting from ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is shown to have a sharp resonance at an invariant mass M almost-equal-to 0.2T(c) (almost-equal-to 40 MeV for typical T(c) = 200 MeV). Observation of this resonance would signal the existence of the quark-gluon plasma, confirm the first-order nature of the transition, and determine the value of T(c).
