Prototyping a Focussing Lightguide Disc DIRC at WASA for PANDA — •Klaus Föhl, Irina Brodski, Michael Düren, Avetik Hayrapetyan, Benno Kröck, Peter Koch, Oliver Merle, Michael Sporleder, Hasko Stenzel, and M. Zühlsdorf — II. Physikalisches Institut, Universität Giessen, Heinrich-Buff-Ring 16, D-35392 Giessen

For the future PANDA experiment at the FAIR laboratory particle identification is a crucial capability, and the space constraints favour the use of compact DIRC detectors. For the Endcap area in the PANDA Target Spectrometer a novel Focussing Lightguides Disc DIRC is being investigated. The talk will focus on how a prototype could be placed into the existing WASA experiment at COSY, which would inprove the WASA energy resolution for high-energy particles as well as provide proof-of-concept for the PANDA DIRC detector developments.
