Detector performance tests for the CBM TRD — •Martin Kohn — WWU Münster Insitut für Kernphysik, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 9 48149 Münster

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is a fixed target heavy-ion experiment at the future FAIR accelerator facility. The CBM Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) is one of the key detectors to provide electron identification and charged particle tracking. With the construction phase of the detector nearing, we will present results of the detector obtained with a close to final prototype. These results will be compared to simulation benchmarks in terms of pion rejection capabilities and spatial resolution.
