The measurements are evaluated in different invariant mass regions with a focus on 0.30-0.76 ($\\rho$-like), 0.76-0.80 ($\\omega$-like), and 0.98-1.05 ($\\phi$-like) GeV/$c^{2}$. The spectrum in the $\\omega$-like and $\\phi$-like regions can be well described by the hadronic cocktail simulation. In the $\\rho$-like region, however, the vacuum $\\rho$ spectral function cannot describe the shape of the dielectron excess. In this range, an enhancement of 1.77$\\pm$0.11(stat.)$\\pm$0.24(sys.)$\\pm$0.33(cocktail) is determined with respect to the hadronic cocktail simulation that excludes the $\\rho$ meson. The excess yield in the $\\rho$-like region increases with the number of collision participants faster than the $\\omega$ and $\\phi$ yields. Theoretical models with broadened $\\rho$ contributions through interactions with constituents in the hot QCD medium provide a consistent description of the dilepton mass spectra for the measurement presented here and the earlier data at the Super Proton Synchrotron energies.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.7397v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.7397v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dielectron-mass-spectra-from-au-au-collisions","repo_url":"https://github.com/RiceU-HeavyIons/STAR-HEPdata","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
