چکیده
Design studies for a second generation Dilepton Spectrometer to be built at the SIS accelerator of GSI Darmstadt are presented. The basic design parameters of this system are specified and the different detector components for charged particle tracking and for lepton identification are described. The geometrical acceptance for lepton pairs is given. Results on single track momentum resolution and on lepton pair mass resolution are reported. 1 Corresponding author, e-mail ”[email protected]” Dept. Nat. Science, Univ.

s . in s - de t ] 2 A pr 2 00 4 The HADES Tracking System
The HADES dielectron spectrometer has recently launched its physics program at the heavy ion synchrotron SIS at GSI Darmstadt. The spectroscopy of vector mesons in heavy ion collisions via their dielectron decay channel makes great demands on the HADES tracking system regarding acceptance and spatial resolution. The tracking system is formed out of 24 low-mass, trapezoidal multi-layer drift cha...
متن کاملDielectron production in 12C+12C collisions at 2 A GeV with HADES
We report on a measurement of electron pair production in 12C+12C collisions at an incident energy of 2 GeV per nucleon with the HADES spectrometer. The measured pair production probabilities span over five orders of magnitude from the π0-Dalitz to the ρ/ω invariant-mass region. Dalitz decays of π0 and η account for all the yield up to 0.15 GeV/c2, but for only about 50% above this mass. The ex...
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...
متن کاملThe High-acceptance Dielectron Spectrometer Hades
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 add...
متن کاملMeasurement of charged pions in 12 C + 12 C collisions at 1 A GeV and 2 A GeV with HADES
We present the results of a study of charged pion production in C + C collisions at incident beam energies of 1A GeV and 2A GeV using the HADES spectrometer at GSI. The main emphasis of the HADES program is on the dielectron signal from the early phase of the collision. Here, however, we discuss the data with respect to the emission of charged hadrons, specifically the production of π mesons, w...
