چکیده
The emission of ee pairs from C+C collisions at an incident energy of 1 GeV per nucleon has been investigated. The measured production probabilities, spanning from the π-Dalitz to the ρ/ω invariant-mass region, display a strong excess above the cocktail of standard hadronic sources. The bombarding-energy dependence of this excess is found to scale like pion production, rather than like eta production. The data are in good agreement with results obtained in the former DLS experiment.

متن کاملDielectron production in C+C and pp collisions
In the previous annual report [1], preliminary dielectron invariant-mass distributions from C+C collisions at 2 AGeV were reported on. Here we present results from a more refi ned data analysis using better detector calibrations and improved pair reconstruction algorithms. A comparison of the measured invariant-mass distribution to predictions of a thermal cocktail based on the PLUTO event gene...
متن کاملDielectron production in C+C and pp collisions
In 2004 the HADES collaboration concentrated on completing the first experimental proposal S262 focused on dielectron production in C+C and pp collisions. Two dedicated production runs using carbon and proton beams of 1 AGeV and 2.2 AGeV kinetic energy, respectively, were successfully conducted. Based on experiences gained in a first commissioning run using the liquid hydrogen target built at O...

The production of ee pairs in C + C collisions at 1 GeV/u was investigated with the HADES experiment at GSI, Darmstadt. In the invariant-mass region 0.15GeV/c ≤ Mee ≤ 0.5GeV/c 2 the measured pair yield shows a strong excess above the contribution expected from hadron decays after freeze-out. The data are in good agreement with the results of the former DLS experiment for the same system and ene...
متن کاملProduction of charged pions in reaction p+Nb at 3.5 GeV
The High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer HADES [1] is devoted mainly to study production of dielectron pairs from proton, pion and nucleus induced reactions at 1-2 AGeV. At the same time, the spectrometer provides detection and high quality identification of charged particles in a large solid angle. In this contribution we focus on the analysis of charged pion production in p + Nb collisions...
