Measurement of low mass dielectron continuum in sqrt(s_{NN}) = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions in the PHENIX Experiment at RHIC

Abstract

The first measurement of the dielectron continuum at RHIC energies was performed by the PHENIX experiment for Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_{NN}) = 200 GeV. Mass spectra for different centralities are presented and compared with the expectations from hadron decays.
