Relativistic heavy-ion collisions provide a unique opportunity to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions. In such collisions, the created system exhibits strong collective behavior, and the shapes of particle transverse momentum spectra reflect the system’s global properties, such as the temperature and flow velocity at kinetic freeze-out. To account for both equilibrium and...
The High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) [1] installed at the SIS18 accelerator in GSI Darmstadt registers products of heavy-ion collisions (as well as of elementary interactions) at energies of a few GeV per nucleon. The nuclear matter produced in such collisions reaches extreme densities and temperatures [2,3,4], comparable to those expected in Neutron Star mergers [5]....
Spectra of inclusive dileptons emitted in hadron collisions are crucial in studying the electromagnetic structure of resonances by constraining model descriptions and validating the commonly used assumption of the Vector Meson Dominance.
While interesting in its own right, this provides a decisive input to theoretical understanding of QCD matter at extreme conditions of temperature and/or...
