The dielectron yield in pp and dp reactions at a beam kinetic energy of 1.25 GeV/u has been measured using the HADES spectrometer at GSI. In proton-proton reactions the most abundant source above the π0 Dalitz region is expected to be Δ Dalitz decay. The obsearved large difference in dielectron production in pp and dp systems suggests that dielectron production in the dp system is dominated by a np process. In order to separate Δ Dalitz decays and np bremsstrahlung we compare the dielectron yield observed in pp with the one of dp reactions measured at the same beam energy.

Abstract

The dielectron yield in pp and dp reactions at a beam kinetic energy of 1.25 GeV/u has been measured using the HADES spectrometer at GSI. In proton-proton reactions the most abundant source above the π0 Dalitz region is expected to be Δ Dalitz decay. The obsearved large difference in dielectron production in pp and dp systems suggests that dielectron production in the dp system is dominated by a np process. In order to separate Δ Dalitz decays and np bremsstrahlung we compare the dielectron yield observed in pp with the one of dp reactions measured at the same beam energy.
