Dielectron production in p+d and p+p collisions at the beam kinetic energy of 4.9 GeV has been measured with the Dilepton Spectrometer. Features of the dielectron cross section have been studied with cuts on the mass and transverse momentum of the pairs. The spectra for several regions of phase space are presented as a function of the pair mass and transverse momentum.

First Observation of Dielectron Production at the Bevalac

We have begun a program to measure dielectron production in p-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LBL Bevalac. Results are presented for the reaction p+Be at 4.9 GeV. For the first time, direct dilepton production is observed below 10 GeV incident energy. The cross sections are discussed and compared to previous data at higher energies. The observation of a structure at a mass of about 275 MeV suggests that pion annihilation may be the dominant production mechanism in this mass range.
