Messungen mit den schwersten Kernen und weitere interessante neue Resultate — •Kirill Lapidus for the HADES collaboration — Physik-Department E12, Technische Universität München, James-Franck-Str. 1, 85748 Garching, Deutschland — Exzellenzcluster Universe, Boltzmannstr. 2, 85748 Garching, Deutschland

HADES is a fixed-target experiment located at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and operating at the SIS18 accelerator in the range of beam energies of 1-2 GeV/u for nucleus-nucleus collisions, up to 3.5 GeV in proton-induced reactions. HADES explores properties of the strongly-interacting matter in the regime of high baryonic densities and moderate temperatures, as probed in heavy ion reactions. Besides, proton- and pion-nucleus collisions are studied in order to quantify the effects of cold nuclear matter. Two pillars of the HADES physics programme are di-electron and strangeness measurements. The talk will be devoted to the fresh results harvested by HADES in the recent years. A heavy-ion run with Au+Au collisions at 1.23 GeV/u has been accomplished in 2012 and a number of interesting analyses both in the dilepton and in strange sectors will be discussed. In 2014 HADES measured particles produced in pion-induced reactions, employing light (carbon, polyethylene) and heavy (tungsten) nuclear targets. Of special interest here is the in-medium behaviour of strange hadrons and the physics of nucleon resonances. First results from this beam time will be presented as well.
