Summary

• e+e- - pair production p+p and p+Nb at E = 3.5 GeV ( M, pT and y)• clear signal observed (/M ~ 2%)• significant e+e- - yield with low pair momenta (p < 800 MeV/c)

• Additional prod. w.r.t p+p at intermediate masses ( hard pT and target rapidity )

• A scaling of differential cross sections: (p+Nb/p+p) ~ A

– High p : all masses ~ 0.7 – Low p : 0 region: ~ 0.7

region: ~ 0.82 region: ~ 0.86

BUT ~ 0.62 in - medium omega width

• Comparison with transport models Better understanding of sources in p + p

Outlook

• e+e- - pair production in HI reactions

– Regeneration of VM– Higher densities

– HADES upgrade

• in - induced reactions

– Large X – sections– VM „at rest“

– Beam particle tracking
