Abstract

The HADES spectrometer at GSI (Darmstadt) is investigating the e + e - pair production in p+p, p+A and A+A collisions. In this contribution we would like to highlight the physics motivations and the experiments performed so far, focusing mainly on the first results coming from 12C + 12C collisions at 1 and 2AGeV, and on preliminary results from p+p/d+p collisions at 1.25AGeV.
