Dielectron measurement in proton-proton interactions at beam energy 1.25 GeV with HADES — •Tetyana Galatyuk for the HADES collaboration — Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung mbH, Darmstadt, Germany

For a better understanding of the contribution of Δ Dalitz and NN bremsstrahlung to dielectron production in heavy ion collisions HADES has studied pp and dp interactions. We present our measurements of dielectron production in pp reactions at E_beam=1.25 GeV, i.e. below the η production threshold. The most abundant source above the π⁰ Dalitz region is expected to be Δ Dalitz. However, due to off-shell propagation of intermediate vector mesons, higher-lying baryonic resonances can as well contribute to the mass region below the vector-meson pole mass [1]. In order to separate Δ Dalitz and np bremsstrahlung we compare the dielectron yield observed in pp with the dp reaction measured at the same beam energy.
