Both mechanisms produce a mass spectrum which decreases steeply with invariant mass of the l+l? pair and which is below the CERES data for Pb-Au collisions by about one order of magnitude. 1 Introduction Dileptons with invariant mass below 1 GeV have been measured in proton-nucleus [1] and heavy ion collisions [2, 3] at the CERN SpS accelerator. For heavy ions (laboratory energy 158 A GeV) a sizable enhancement of the order of a factor three has been observed over what is calculated from the e+e? decay of the hadrons in the final state. Also the observed shape is very different from the calculated one. The data have not yet found an unambiguous explanation. Most theories locate the origin for the observed dileptons in the hot and dense phase of hadrons [4]-[12]. This phase is rather late in the time evolution of a heavy ion collision. In this note, we take the opposite point of view and investigate the mass spectrum of the dileptons which arise from the very early stages of the heavy ion reaction in which partons are the relevant degrees of freedom. We calculate (i) the direct production NN → l+l?X in the light cone approach and in a parton model and (ii) the lepton production via a gluonic Compton process GN → l+l?X from prompt gluo
