The di-lepton physics program at STAR    [PDF]

Lijuan Ruan, for the STAR Collaboration

The recent results on di-electron production in $p+p$ and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} = 200$ GeV are presented. The cocktail simulations of di-eletrons from light flavor meson decays and heavy flavor decays are reported and compared with data. The perspectives for di-lepton measurements in lower energy Au+Au collisions and with future detector upgrades are discussed.
