New opportunities for hadron physics with the planned PANDA detector — •james ritman — II Phys. Inst. Univ. Giessen

One of the main components of the approved GSI Future Facility is a high energy storage ring (HESR) that provides antiproton beams with unprecedented intensity and momentum definition for beam momenta between 1.0 and 15 GeV/c. Experiments with internal hydrogen and nuclear targets will be performed with the PANDA (Pbar ANnihilation experiemnt at DArmstadt) detector. The questions addressed include the search for exotic QCD states (glueballs and hybrids), precision spectroscopy of charmonium states, the properties of charm hadrons in nuclear matter, and high resolution spectroscopy of (double) hypernuclei. This talk will provide an overview of the design parameters and simulation results of the detector facility envisioned to pursue the experimental program.
