The vector U bosons, or so-called “dark photons,” are one of the possible candidates for the dark matter mediators. They are supposed to interact with the standard matter via a “vector portal” due to the Uð1Þ − Uð1Þ0 symmetry group mixing which might make them visible in particle and heavy-ion experiments. While there is no confirmed observation of dark photons, the detailed analysis of different experimental data allows to estimate the upper limit for the kinetic mixing parameter ϵ2 depending on the mass MU of U bosons which is also unknown. In this study we present theoretical constraints on the upper limit of ϵ2ðMUÞ in the mass range MU ≤ 0.6 GeV from the comparison of the calculated dilepton spectra with the experimental data from the HADES collaboration at SIS18 energies where the dark photons are not observed. Our analysis is based on the microscopic Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport
approach which reproduces well the measured dilepton spectra in p þ p, p þ A and A þ A collisions. Additionally to the different dilepton channels originating from interactions and decays of ordinary matter particles (mesons and baryons), we incorporate the decay of hypothetical U bosons to dileptons, U → eþe−, where the U bosons themselves are produced by the Dalitz decay of pions π0 → γU, η mesons η → γU and Delta resonances Δ → NU. Our analysis can help to estimate the requested accuracy for future experimental searches of “light” dark photons by dilepton experiments.
The web and the social web play an increasingly important role as an information source for Members of Parliament and their assistants, journalists, political analysts and researchers. It provides important and crucial background information, like reactions to political events and comments made by the general public. The case study presented in this paper is driven by two European parliaments (the Greek and the Austrian parliament) and targets an effective exploration of political web archives. In this paper, we describe semantic technologies deployed to ease the exploration of the archived web and social web content and present evaluation results.
We have developed a versatile software package for the simulation of di-electron production in pp and dp collisions at moderate beam kinetic energies (1-2GeV). Particular attention has been paid to incorporate different descriptions of the Dalitz decay Δ rightarrow Ne + e - via a common interface. In addition, suitable parameterizations for the virtual bremsstrahlung process NN rightarrow NNe + e - based on one-boson exchange models have been implemented. Such simulation tools with high flexibility of the framework are important for the interpretation of the di-electron data taken with the HADES spectrometer and demonstrates the wide applicability within the field of nuclear and hadronic physics.
