e^+e^- production from pp reactions at BEVALAC energies

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We have performed a detailed study of dilepton production from pp collisions including the subthreshold ρ\rho production via baryonic resonances (N(1520), N(1700)) in addition to the conventional dilepton sources as π0,η,ω\pi^0, \eta, \omega and Δ\Delta Dalitz decays and direct decays of vector mesons (ρ,ω\rho, \omega). The role of baryonic resonances in ρ\rho production from nucleon-nucleon collisions is studied in comparison to the DLS data which are well described.
