A pattern recognition analysis for particle identification with PANDA — •Vanniarajan Suyam jothi — KVI, Groningen, Netherlands

The PANDA project at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, FAIR, Darmstadt, will study hadronic excitations in the charmonium-mass range exploiting antiproton-proton annihilations. A compact multi-purpose detector will be employed which is capable of measuring the scattering angles, momenta, and energies of charged and neutral particles. In addition, the detector will be able to separate the different particle types and perform high-quality Particle IDentification (PID). A pattern-recognition tool based on a set of multi-variate analysis techniques has been developed and used to optimize the quality and performance of PID. The tool is part of the simulation and analysis framework carrying the name PandaRoot, which is presently being developed for physics-benchmark and detector-design studies. This paper will present first results of the analysis which are based on a Monte-Carlo simulation describing the complete detector setup.
