  3. Baryonic matter at SIS Beam Energy Evolution of average rB Compositionof a hotpDNgas Elab=30GeV g* g* g* Rapp, Wambach, Adv.Nucl.Phys. 25 (2000) Elab=11GeV l+ l+ l+ Elab=2GeV l- l- l- t >10 fm/c K,L,f,X, • Moderate densities but long lifetime: • max/r0 = 1-3, T<80 MeV, ~15fm/c • Baryon dominated: • p densities a factor ~10 lower as compared to SPS regime! • Matter enriched by baryonic resonances (~30%), N/Apart ≈ 10% HADES Rare and penetrating probes

  4. High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer • HADES strategy: • Systematic di-electron and strangeness measurements in NN, AA, pA, pN and pA collisions Recorded data sets sw = 15 MeV/c2 • Beams provided by SIS18: p, p, ions • Full azimuthal coverage • Hadron and lepton identification • e+e- pair acceptance 0.35 • Mass resolution 2 % (/ region) • ~ 80.000 channels • now: up to 50 kHz event rate (400 Mbyte/s peak data rate)

  7. Dileptons: Excess above eta contribution  contribution subtracted e+e- excess @ 1-2 AGeV • Excess above reference NN and Mee > 150 MeV/c2 increases from ~0 (light systems) to ~3 (ArKcl) and ~8-10 in Au-Au . Precise measurement of NN (np. and pp) reference was an essential input ! • Excess yield scales with system size ~ Apart1.4  multistep processes? • Rapid increase of relative yield reflects the number of ‘s/ N*’s regenerated in fireball with life time ~10 fm/c
