The PANDA experiment at FAIR & — •Kai-Thomas Brinkmann — Technische Universität Dresden, D-01062 Dresden
The PANDA detector will make use of the antiprotons produced in the FAIR complex and stored in the High-Energy Storage Ring HESR for the study of strong interactions in antiproton collisions with protons and heavy targets. The HESR will provide coasting beams of up to 1011 antiprotons with momenta between 1.5 and 15 GeV/c.The PANDA detector features a 4 π design for charged particles with a solenoidal magnetic field and full coverage of photons by means of an advanced electromagnetic calorimeter. In addition, a dipole spectrometer will allow high-resolution detection of leading particles characteristic for fixed-target experiments.
The physics program of PANDA covers a wide range of topics that address central issues of strong QCD. These will be discussed in detail, while the detector properties needed in order to cover such a broad physics program are highlighted. Technical developments and the status of the various detector components will be summarized.
& work funded by BMBF and the EU FP6 program.
