The HADES Upgrade: first Results
During the year 2010 the HADES Upgrade project has been finalized and the spectrometer has been commissioned in three test beam times at the end of the year. The HADES upgrade program had the following main goals: (1) The installation of a new Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detector to increase the time resolution and granularity of the time-of-flight system at the lower polar angles (θ < 45). (...
متن کاملUpgrade of the HADES Experiment
The HADES upgrade project aims at improving the granularity of the time-of-flight (TOF) system and the data rate capability to allow for the experiments with heavy ions at SIS18 and later at FAIR. In this report, we outline the current upgrade progress of the HADES experimental setup, in particular for the installation of the RPC chambers, the new MDC, the new RICH electronics, and its data acq...
متن کاملLimited Streamer Tubes for the Babar Instrumented Flux Return Upgrade
Starting from the very beginning of their operation the efficiency of the RPC chambers in the BaBar Instrumented Flux Return (IFR) has suffered serious degradation. After intensive investigation, various remediation efforts had been carried out, but without success. As a result the BaBar collaboration decided to replace the dying barrel RPC chambers about two years ago. To study the feasibility...
متن کاملStatus of the HADES RPC Project
In recent years, timing RPCs (Resistive Plate Chambers) [1] have emerged as a novel, cost-effective technology to achieve high timing resolutions σt≤100 ps as well as high granularities, which are required for high particle multiplicities. In order to cope with rates of Φ≤700 Hz/cm (expected for Au+Au collisions), the HADES detector is being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade project, an RPCbas...
متن کاملStatus of the HADES physics program
In 2007 the analysis of dielectron spectra from our 2004 C+C run at 1 GeV/u has been finalized. Above the π mass, the measured pair yield is ∼7 times larger than the contribution expected from hadron decays after freezeout. The found invariant-mass and transverse-momentum distributions are fully consistent with the ones measured by the former DLS experiment [1]. The beam-energy dependence of th...
