Abstract: (Elsevier)
We point out that an increase of the ratio ( d N ee /dy) ( dN π / d y) 2 (rapidity density of low mass dileptons over the square of the rapidity density of final hadrons) as a function of d N π d y is a signature of the thermalized quark-hadron mixed phase in pp and pA collisions.
