Vector meson study for the CBM experiment at FAIR/GSIAnna Kiseleva GSI Germany, PNPI Russia

Motivation

The muon detection system of CBM

Vector meson identification (ρ0, ω, φ, J/ψ)

The low-mass vector meson problem (soft muons)

acceptance of ρ0 at MUCH

possible solution

preliminary results

Outlook

Dilepton Sources in Heavy-Ion Collisions

Dilepton Sources in Heavy-Ion Collisions

Signatures of the quark-gluon plasma:anomalous suppression of charmonium

In-medium spectral function using penetrating probes

D.Adamova et al., PRL 91 (2003) 042301

Calculations by R. Rapp:

thick dashed line: unmodified rho

thick dashed-dotted line: in-medium dropping rho mass

thick solid line: in-medium spread rho width
