TL;DR
This paper models dielectron production in proton-proton collisions at top RHIC energy using an extended statistical hadronization approach, successfully matching experimental data up to 1 GeV invariant mass.
Contribution
It introduces an extended statistical hadronization model to accurately describe dielectron spectra in proton-proton collisions at high energy.
Findings
Model describes PHENIX data very well up to 1 GeV
Few adjustable parameters are sufficient for accurate fit
Validates the extended statistical hadronization approach for dielectron production
Abstract
We study dielectron production in proton-proton collisions at top RHIC beam energy within an extended statistical hadronization model. The invariant mass spectrum of correlated dielectron pairs is evaluated in the low invariant mass region and calculated results are compared with the PHENIX experiment. The model is found to be able to describe the data very well up to invariant masses of 1 GeV with few adjustable parameters.
