Abstract
We report on the mid-rapidity mass spectrum of di-electrons and cross sections of pseudoscalar and vector mesons via e + e -decays, from s = 200 GeV p + p collisions, measured by the large-acceptance experiment STAR at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The ratio of the di-electron continuum to the combinatorial background is larger than 10% over the entire mass range. Simulations of di-electrons from light-meson decays and heavy-flavor decays (charmonium and open charm correlation) are found to describe the data. The extracted e + e -invariant yields are consistent with previous measurements. The mid-rapidity yields (dN/dy) of and J / are extracted through their di-electron decay channels and are consistent with the previous measurements of K + K -and J / e + e -. Our results suggest a new
