Tóm tắt

We report on baryon resonance production and decay in proton-proton collisions at a kinetic energy of 3.5 GeV based on data measured with HADES. The exclusive channels $ pp \rightarrow np\pi^{+}$ and $ pp\rightarrow pp\pi^{0}$ as well as $ pp\rightarrow ppe^{+}e^{-}$ are studied simultaneously for the first time. The invariant masses and angular distributions of the pion-nucleon systems were studied and compared to simulations based on a resonance model ansatz assuming saturation of the pion production by an incoherent sum of baryonic resonances (R with masses < 2 GeV/c2. A very good description of the one-pion production is achieved allowing for an estimate of individual baryon resonance production cross sections which are used as input to calculate the dielectron yields from $ R\rightarrow pe^{+}e^{-}$ decays. Two models of the resonance decays into dielectrons are examined assuming a point-like $ RN\gamma^{*}$ coupling and the dominance of the $ \rho$ meson. The results of model calculations are compared to data from the exclusive $ ppe^{+}e^{-}$ channel by means of the dielectron and $ pe^{+}e^{-}$ invariant mass distributions.
