Abstract: (arXiv)
We report on baryon resonance production and decay in proton-proton collisions at a kinetic energy of GeV based on data measured with HADES. The exclusive channels and as well as 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 GeV/. 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 decays. Two models of the resonance decays into dielectrons are examined assuming a point-like coupling and the dominance of the meson. The results of model calculations are compared to data from the exclusive channel by means of the dielectron and invariant mass distributions.Note:
