Vector meson study for the CBM experiment at FAIR/GSI Anna Kiseleva GSI Germany, PNPI Russia • Motivation • The muon detection system of CBM • Vector meson identification (ρ0, ω, φ, J/ψ) • The low-mass vector meson problem (soft muons) • acceptance of ρ0 at MUCH • possible solution • preliminary results • Outlook

  2. Dilepton Sources in Heavy-Ion Collisions Signatures of the quark-gluon plasma: anomalous suppression of charmonium In-medium spectral function using penetrating probes

  3. Di-electron measurements(CERES/CERN) Calculations by R. Rapp: thick dashed line: unmodified rho thick dashed-dotted line: in-medium dropping rho mass thick solid line: in-medium spread rho width D.Adamova et al., PRL 91 (2003) 042301
