چکیده

HADES is a versatile magnetic spectrometer aimed at studying dielectron production in pion, proton and heavy-ion induced collisions. Its main features include a ring imaging gas Cherenkov detector for electron-hadron discrimination, a tracking system consisting of a set of 6 superconducting coils producing a toroidal field and drift chambers and a multiplicity and electron trigger array for additional electron-hadron discrimination and event characterization. A two-stage trigger system enhances events containing electrons. The physics program is focused on the investigation of hadron properties in nuclei and in the hot and dense hadronic matter. The detector system is characterized by an 85 % azimuthal coverage over a polar angle interval from 18 to 85, a single electron efficiency of 50 % and a vector meson mass resolution of 2.5 %. Identification of pions, kaons and protons is achieved combining time-of-flight and energy loss measurements over a large momentum range. This paper describes the main features and the performance of the detector system.

The HADES experiment, installed at GSI, Darmstadt, measures di-electron production in A+A, p/π + N and p/π + A collisions. Here, the π and η Dalitz decays have been reconstructed in the exclusive p + p reaction at 2.2 GeV to form a reference cocktail for long-lived di-electron sources. In the C+C reaction at 1 and 2 GeV/u, these long-lived sources have been subtracted from the measured inclusiv...

Jefferson Lab experiment E01-012 measured the 3He spin-structure functions and virtual photon asymmetries in the resonance region in the momentum transfer range 1.0<Q2<4.0 (GeV/c)2. Our data, when compared with existing deep inelastic scattering data, were used to test quark-hadron duality in g1 and A1 for 3He and the neutron. In addition, preliminary results on the 3He spin-structure function ...
