  12. STAR/MTD A large area of Muon Telescope Detector (MTD) at mid-rapidity,allows for the detection of di-muon pairsfrom QGP thermal radiation, quarkonia, light vector mesons, and Drell-Yan production single muonsfrom their semi-leptonic decays of heavy flavor hadrons advantages over electrons:no  conversion, much less Dalitz decay contribution, less affected by radiative losses in the detector materials CBM-China meeting
