The Micro Vertex Detector of the PANDA Experiment — •Tommaso Quagli — II. Physikalisches Institut, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, 35392 Gießen
PANDA is a key experiment of the future FAIR facility, under construction in Darmstadt, Germany. It will study the collisions between an antiproton beam and a fixed proton or nuclear target. The Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) is the innermost detector of the apparatus and its main task is the precise identification of primary and secondary vertices. The central requirements include high spatial and time resolution, triggerless readout with high rate capability, good radiation tolerance and low material budget. The detector is composed of four concentric barrels and six forward disks, instrumented with silicon hybrid pixel detectors and double-sided silicon microstrip detectors.
This talk will provide an overview of the design and the status of the MVD. Recent developments of prototypes of the hardware components for the pixel and strip parts, including the silicon sensors, the readout electronics and the mechanical and electrical infrastructure, will be presented along with the latest test results.
