Simulation of the Micro-Vertex Detector and the Straw Tube Tracker for the proposed PANDA detector at GSI. — •Andrei Sokolov¹ and James Ritman² — ¹GSI, Darmstadt, Germany — ²II, Physikalisches Institut, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen

One of the components of the approved expension to the accelerator facility at GSI/Darmstadt is a storage ring for high luminosity phase space cooled antiprotons with momenta between 1.0 and 15 GeV/c. Antiproton annihilation reactions on protons and nuclei will be investigated with a detector system called PANDA. Two critical items of the central tracking system are the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) and the Straw Tube Tracker (STT). The MVD has high position resolution (∼ 20µ m) to identify tracks from the decay of open charm particles. The STT provides the fast tracking needed to handle the high events rate (10⁷ events/s). This talk will present an overview of the simulations performed to investigate performance of the MVD and STT for PANDA.
