We present measurements ofproduction at midrapidity incollisions atGeV. The invariant yield is studied within the PHENIX detector acceptance over a wide range of mass () and pair transverse momentum () for minimum bias and for five centrality classes. Theyield is compared to the expectations from known sources. In the low-mass region () there is an enhancement that increases with centrality and is distributed over the entire pairrange measured. It is significantly smaller than previously reported by the PHENIX experiment and amounts toor tofor minimum bias collisions when the open heavy-flavor contribution is calculated withpythiaormc@nlo, respectively. The inclusive mass anddistributions, as well as the centrality dependence, are well reproduced by model calculations where the enhancement mainly originates from the melting of themeson resonance as the system approaches chiral symmetry restoration. In the intermediate-mass region (), the data hint at a significant contribution in addition to the yield from the semileptonic decays of heavy-flavor mesons.
