ABSTRACT: The reaction p(@3.5\,GeV)+p -> p+\Lambda + K^+ can be studied to search for
the existence of kaonic bound states like ppK^- leading to this final state.
This effort has been motivated by the assumption that in p+p collisions the
\Lambda(1405) resonance can act as a doorway to the formation of the kaonic
bound states. The status of this analysis within the HADES collaboration, with
particular emphasis on the comparison to simulations, is shown in this work and
the deviation method utilized by the DISTO collaboration in a similar analysis
is discussed. The outcome suggests the employment of a partial wave analysis to
disentangle the different contributions to the measured pK^+\Lambda final
state.

ABSTRACT: We present an analysis of the Lambda(1405) resonance produced in the reaction
p+p->Sigma^{pm}+pi^{mp}+K+p at 3.5 GeV kinetic beam energy measured with HADES
at GSI. The two charged decay channels Lambda(1405) -> Sigma^{\pm}+pi^{\mp}
have been reconstructed for the first time in p+p collisions. The efficiency
and acceptance-corrected spectral shapes show a peak position clearly below
1400 MeV/c^2. We find a total production cross section of
sigma_{Lambda(1405)}=9.2 +- 0.9 +- 0.7 +3.3-1.0 mub. The analysis of its polar
angle distribution suggests that the Lambda(1405) is produced isotropically in
the p-p center of mass system.

ABSTRACT: Results on pp, π+π+, and π−π− intensity interferometry are reported for collisions of Ar+KCl at 1.76A GeV beam energy, studied with the High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) at SIS18/GSI. The experimental correlation
functions as a function of the relative momentum are compared to model calculations allowing the determination of the space-time
extent of the corresponding emission sources. The ππ source radii are found significantly larger than the pp emission radius.
The present radii do well complement the beam-energy dependences of Gaussian source radii of the collision system of size
A + A ≃ 40 + 40 . The pp source radius at fixed beam energy is found to increase linearly with the cube root of the number of participants.
From this trend, a lower limit of the pp correlation radius is deduced.

ABSTRACT: HADES is a secondary generation experiment operated at GSI Darmstadt with the main goal to study dielectron production in
proton, pion and heavy ion induced reactions. The first part of the HADES mission is to reinvestigate the puzzling pair excess
measured by the DLS collaboration in C + C and Ca + Ca collisions at 1 AGeV. For this purpose dedicated measurements with the C + C system at 1 and 2 AGeV were performed. The pair excess above a cocktail of free hadronic decays has been extracted and compared to the one measured
by DLS. Furthermore, the excess is confronted with predictions of various model calculations.

ABSTRACT: We present transverse momentum spectra, rapidity distribution and multiplicity of L \Lambda -hyperons measured with the HADES spectrometer in the reaction Ar(1.76AGeV) + KCl . The yield of X- \Xi^{{-}}_{} is calculated from our previously reported X- \Xi^{{-}}_{}/(L \Lambda + S0 \Sigma^{{0}}_{}) ratio and compared to other strange particle multiplicities. Employing a strangeness balance equation the multiplicities
of the yet unmeasured S± \Sigma^{{\pm}}_{} -hyperons can be estimated. Finally a statistical hadronization model is used to fit the yields of p- \pi^{-}_{} , K+, K
0
s , K-, f \phi , L \Lambda and X- \Xi^{-}_{} . The resulting chemical freeze-out temperature of T = (76±2) MeV is compared to the measured slope parameters obtained from fits to the transverse mass distributions of the
different particles.

ABSTRACT: 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 additional electron-hadron discrimination and event characterization. A two-stage trigger system enhances events
containing electrons. The physics program is focused on the investigation of hadron properties in nuclei and in the hot and
dense hadronic matter. The detector system is characterized by an 85% azimuthal coverage over a polar angle interval from
18° to 85° , a single electron efficiency of 50% and a vector meson mass resolution of 2.5%. Identification of pions, kaons and protons
is achieved combining time-of-flight and energy loss measurements over a large momentum range ( 0.1 < p < 1.0 GeV/c . This paper describes the main features and the performance of the detector system.

ABSTRACT: Data on inclusive dielectron production are presented for the reaction p+p at
2.2 GeV measured with the High Acceptance DiElectron Spectrometer (HADES). Our
results supplement data obtained earlier in this bombarding energy regime by
DLS and HADES. The comparison with the 2.09 GeV DLS data is discussed. The
reconstructed e+e- distributions are confronted with simulated pair cocktails,
revealing an excess yield at invariant masses around 0.5 GeV/c2. Inclusive
cross sections of neutral pion and eta production are obtained.

ABSTRACT: We present measurements of exclusive \pi^{+,0} and \eta\ production in pp
reactions at 1.25 GeV and 2.2 GeV beam kinetic energy in hadron and dielectron
channels. In the case of \pi^+ and \pi^0, high-statistics invariant-mass and
angular distributions are obtained within the HADES acceptance as well as
acceptance corrected distributions, which are compared to a resonance model.
The sensitivity of the data to the yield and production angular distribution of
\Delta(1232) and higher lying baryon resonances is shown, and an improved
parameterization is proposed. The extracted cross sections are of special
interest in the case of pp \to pp \eta, since controversial data exist at 2.0
GeV; we find \sigma =0.142 \pm 0.022 mb. Using the dielectron channels, the
\pi^0 and \eta\ Dalitz decay signals are reconstructed with yields fully
consistent with the hadronic channels. The electron invariant masses and
acceptance corrected helicity angle distributions are found in good agreement
with model predictions.

ABSTRACT: We study the production of Sigma^+-pi^+-pK^+ particle quartets in p+p

Lambda(1405$, Sigma(1385)^0, Lambda(1520), Delta(1232), N^* and K^*0 to the
Sigma^+- pi^-+ p K+ final state. The resulting simulation model is compared to
the experimental data in several angular distributions and it shows itself as
suitable to evaluate the acceptance corrections properly.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present analysis is to determine the relative production cross
sections of the $\Lambda$(1405) and $\Sigma(1385)^{0}$ resonances in p+p
collisions at E$_{kin}$=3.5 GeV measured with HADES. Upper and lower limits
have been determined for the ratio
$\sigma_{(\Sigma(1385)^{0}+p+K^{+})}/\sigma_{(\Lambda(1405)+p+K^{+})}=0.76_{-0.26}^{+0.54}$.
The knowledge of this ratio is an essential input for the analysis of the decay
$\Lambda(1405)\rightarrow\Sigma^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$, where an unambiguous
separation of the $\Lambda$(1405) and $\Sigma(1385)^{0}$ signals is not
possible.

ABSTRACT: We present the inclusive invariant-mass, transverse momentum and rapidity
distributions of dielectrons (e$^{+}$e$^{-}$ pairs) in p+p interactions at 3.5
GeV beam kinetic energy. In the vector-meson mass region, a distinct peak
corresponding to direct $\omega$ decays is reconstructed with 2% mass
resolution. The data is compared to predictions from three model calculations.
Due to the large acceptance of the HADES apparatus for $e^{+}e^{-}$ invariant
masses above 0.2 GeV/$c^{2}$ and for transverse pair momenta p$_{t}$ $ <$ 1
GeV/$c$, acceptance corrections are to a large extent model independent. This
allows us to extract from dielectron data for the first time at this energy the
inclusive production cross sections for light vector mesons. Inclusive
production cross sections for $\pi^o$ and $\eta$ mesons are also reported. The
obtained results will serve as an important reference for the study of vector
meson production in proton-nucleus and heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, using
this data, an improved value for the upper bound of the branching ratio for
direct $\eta$ decays into the electron-positron channel is obtained.

ABSTRACT: We report on recent data of e+e− pair emission in proton nucleus collisions at energies above the light vector meson production thresholds. Invariant mass distributions for the p+Nb system at Ekin = 3.5 GeV are compared to data from elementary p+p reactions at the same beam energy. We observe a constant π0/ω yield ratio for both systems but an excess in the mass region above the π0 mass. Furthermore we present here the normalization procedure that was applied to p+Nb collisions by measuring the production of negative pions in the HADES acceptance.

ABSTRACT: We present results on dielectron production in Ar+KCl collisions at 1.76A
GeV. For the first time $\omega$ mesons could be reconstructed in a heavy-ion
reaction at a bombarding energy which is well below the production threshold in
free nucleon-nucleon collisions. The omega multiplicity has been extracted and
compared to the yields of other particles, in particular of the phi meson. At
intermediate e+e- invariant masses, we find a strong enhancement of the pair
yield over a reference spectrum from elementary nucleon-nucleon reactions
suggesting the onset of non-trivial effects of the nuclear medium.
Transverse-mass spectra and angular distributions have been reconstructed in
three invariant mass bins. In the former unexpectedly large slopes are found
for high-mass pairs. The latter, in particular the helicity-angle
distributions, are largely consistent with expectations for a pair cocktail
dominated at intermediate masses by delta Dalitz decays.

ABSTRACT: HADES is a running hadron and di-electron spectrometer installed at GSI, Germany. Currently, the HADES data and trigger system is being upgraded. The main aim is an increase in the event rate capabilities by a factor of up to 20 to reach 100 kHz in light systems and 20 kHz in heavy ion reactions. The datarate will be in the order of 400 MByte/s in peak. In this context, the complete readout system has been exchanged to use optical communication. In this contribution we present a general-purpose real-time network protocol that has been developed based on our requirements. These include strong timing constraints with latencies less than 5 μs for endpoint-to-endpoint communication including up to 10 intermediate hubs in a star-like network setup. In HADES, this network connects over 500 FPGAs distributed over the whole detector. Monitoring and slow control features as well as readout and trigger transportation were joined in a single network protocol. Hence, channel multiplexing with inherent arbitration by priority is implemented. Typically, switching from one channel to another takes less than 100 ns. For slow control and monitoring, a dedicated channel provides a data bus with a virtual address space spanning the whole network. The configuration is highly flexible and thus adaptable to different experimental setups and hardware. Therefore, the network can also be used in any other experiment of the upcoming FAIR facility.

ABSTRACT: We present the transverse momentum spectra and rapidity distributions of $\pi^{-}$ and K$^0_S$ in Ar+KCl reactions at a beam kinetic energy of 1.756 A GeV measured with the spectrometer HADES. The reconstructed K$^0_S$ sample is characterized by good event statistics for a wide range in momentum and rapidity. We compare the experimental $\pi^{-}$ and K$^0_S$ distributions to predictions by the IQMD model. The model calculations show that K$^0_S$ at low tranverse momenta constitute a particularly well suited tool to investigate the kaon in-medium potential. Our K$^0_S$ data suggest a strong repulsive in-medium K$^0$ potential of about 40 MeV strength. Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, accepted by Phys. Rev. C
