Abstract

The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) was fully installed and commissioned in 2023 as a part of the HADES experiment at FAIR-GSI, Germany. HADES is a versatile magnetic spectrometer designed to study medium modifications of light vector mesons through their dilepton decay in heavy-ion collisions and to explore the QCD phase diagram at high baryonic densities and low temperatures. The ECAL setup comprises six sectors with 163 modules each, using Cherenkov light detection with lead-glass prisms and photomultiplier tubes. Preliminary results from the

π^{0}

invariant mass reconstruction during the C+C 800 A MeV HADES experiment in February 2024 are presented.

期刊介绍： Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
