Resumen

We report the direct virtual photon invariant yields in the transverse momentum ranges 1<p_T<3 GeV/c and 5<p_T<10 GeV/c at mid-rapidity derived from the dielectron invariant mass continuum region 0.10<M_ee<0.28 GeV/c² for 0–80% minimum-bias Au+Au collisions at s_NN=200 GeV. A clear excess in the invariant yield compared to the nuclear overlap function T_AA scaled p+p reference is observed in the p_T range 1<p_T<3 GeV/c. For p_T>6 GeV/c the production follows T_AA scaling. Model calculations with contributions from thermal radiation and initial hard parton scattering are consistent within uncertainties with the direct virtual photon invariant yield.
