HADES EXPERIMENTS INVESTIGATING IN-MEDIUM HADRON PROPERTIES<br />

A.Kugler <strong>for</strong> the HADES collaboration<br />

<strong>Nuclear</strong> Physics <strong>Institute</strong> ASCR, Rez<br />

The HADES spectrometer installed at GSI Darmstadt is a second generation experiment<br />

designed to measure e+e- pairs (dielectrons) in the SIS∕BEVALAC energy regime. The main<br />

goal <strong>of</strong> the experiment is to measure electromagnetic emissivity <strong>of</strong> a compressed baryonic<br />

matter <strong>for</strong>med in course <strong>of</strong> heavy ion collisions and ultimately learn about in-medium hadron<br />

properties. For this purpose a dedicated programme focusing on systematic investigation <strong>of</strong><br />

dielectron production in nucleon-nucleon, proton-nucleus and heavy ion reactions is ongoing.<br />

A comparison <strong>of</strong> the nucleon-nucleon data to the one obtained in more complex<br />

systems allows <strong>for</strong> isolation <strong>of</strong> true in-medium effects. Furthermore, thank to excellent<br />

particle identification capabilities <strong>of</strong> the detector, investigations have also been extended to<br />

strangeness production, which at these energies is confined to a high density zone <strong>of</strong> the<br />

collision. In particular intriguing new results on hadrons containing two strange quarks (φ and<br />

Ξ(1321)) were obtained. In the talk overview <strong>of</strong> results obtained so far will be given and also<br />

perspective <strong>for</strong> future investigations, in particular in new FAIR project, will be addressed.<br />
