8. Tests of the new setup July 2010 – Ca+Au at 1.25 A GeV, U+Au at 0.9 A GeV September 2010 – Ni+Au at 1.25 A GeV - all detectors in setup, including new detectors (RPC,FW,MDC1) -new FE and DAQ readout -new central trigger unit -full setup working -Sep.2010 : 25 hours of beam, 340 mil. events taken -readout rate 15kHz 8

9. TOF data from Ni+Au beam test

10. FW data from Ni+Au beam test

11. Summary  motivation: improved dilepton spectroscopy by HADES heavy systems, high beam intensities  current status full detector setup working including new detectors new readout installed, working high readout rate – 15kHz LVL1 trigger  plans beam test in October – DAQ, central trigger system, Start detector Experiment Au+Au at 1.25 A GeV

12. EMC - Motivation - measurements of the respective  º and η meson two gamma decay yields together with the dielectron data for the knowledge of dielectron coctail and normalization at incident heavy ion energies 2-8 AGeV - better electron/pion suppression for large momenta (p>400 MeV/c) as compared to the present situation (at lower momenta the electron/hadron identification will be provided by the RICH and RPC)

13. Side View START HADES & EMC RPC EMC The total area required for a HADES calorimeter amounts to about 8m 2 !! ElectroMagnetic Calorimeter (EMC) will replace the HADES Pre-Shower detector (18º< Θ< 45º).
