Dielectron Detection Capabilities of HADES at SIS100/300 — •Benjamin Bannier for the HADES collaboration — Institut für Strahlenphysik, FZ Dresden-Rossendorf, PF 510119, 01314 Dresden

The HADES experiment at SIS18 at GSI/Darmstadt is a dedicated experiment for studying medium modifications of hadrons, i.e. the light vector mesons ρ, ω and φ, in pA, πA and AA collisions. Specifically, dileptonic decays of these vector mesons provide an direct probe for the properties of hadronic matter at high nuclear densities.

The future FAIR facility at GSI/Darmstadt with SIS100/300 will provide heavy-ion beams with energies of up to 45 AGeV. It is planned to operate the HADES detector at these higher energies. In this work the principle possibilities of detecting dielectrons with an unmodified HADES detector are studied. Simulations of dielectron production for several beam energies have been performed using the UrQMDv1.3p1 transport code together with the PLUTO++ phase space generator. Future measurements of dileptons with HADES at FAIR are shown to be within reach of the current setup.
