Dilepton production from p-p to Ca-Ca at the Bevalac†

چکیده
The DLS collaboration has recently completed a high statistics study of dilepton production at the Bevalac. In particular, we have measured dielectrons (e+e-) from p-p and p-d collisions to understand the basic dilepton production mechanisms in the energy range from 1.05 4.9 GeV. These data can be used to determine the basic processes which contribute to nucleon-nucleon dilepton production such as hadronic bremsstrahlung, vector meson processes, and hadronic Dalitz decay. The data show that a simple elastic bremsstrahlung calculation is insufficient to explain the data. Theoretical models are compared with the data. A new high statistics study of Ca-Ca at 1.05 A⋅GeV has been made to study the collectivity of A-A collisions.

Dilepton Production and M T -scaling at Bevalac/sis Energies *
We present a dynamical study of e + e − production in C + C and Ca + Ca collisions at BEVALAC/SIS energies on the basis of the covariant transport approach HSD employing momentum-dependent ρ-meson spectral functions that include the pion modifications in the nuclear medium as well as the polarization of the ρ-meson due to resonant ρ−N scattering. We find that the experimental data from the DLS ...
متن کاملLow-Mass Dilepton Enhancement from in-Medium Hadronic Interactions
Based on a realistic model for the meson in free space we investigate its medium modiications through rescattering in a hot hadron gas. Within the vector dominance model the corresponding in-medium spectral function is applied to calculate e + e ? spectra in central Pb+Au as measured by the CERES collaboration at CERN-SpS energies; we also compare to results obtained with the assumption of a 'd...

The dilepton production in elementary pp → eeX reactions at BEVALAC energies Tlab = 1 ÷ 5 GeV is investigated. The calculations include direct ee decays of the vector mesons ρ, ω, and φ, Dalitz decays of the π, η-, ρ-, ω-, and φ-mesons, and of the baryon resonances ∆(1232), N(1520), . . . . The subthreshold vector meson production cross sections in pp collisions are treated in a way sufficient ...
متن کاملDilepton production and reaction dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies from coarse-grained transport simulations
Dilepton invariant-mass spectra for heavy-ion collisions at SIS 18 and BEVALAC energies are calculated using a coarse-grained time evolution from the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model. The coarse-graining of the microscopic simulations enables to calculate thermal dilepton emission rates by application of in-medium spectral functions from equilibrium quantum-field theo...

We have performed a detailed study of dilepton production from pp collisions including the subthreshold ρ production via baryonic resonances (N(1520), N(1700)) in addition to the conventional dilepton sources as π0, η, ω and ∆ Dalitz decays and direct decays of vector mesons (ρ, ω). The role of baryonic resonances in ρ production from nucleon-nucleon collisions is studied in comparison to the D...
