%0 Journal Article %T Comment on: "Transverse-Mass $M_\perp$ Dependence of Dilepton Emission from Preequilibrium and Quark-Gluon Plasma in High Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions" %A M. Asakawa %J Physics %D 1994 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.1486 %X In a recent Letter, Geiger presents calculations of the dilepton emission from the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions using the parton cascade model (PCM). He shows that the $M_\perp$ scaling is not observed. In this Comment, we point out that this is largely due to a defect in the PCM. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/9402033v1
