Design and Test of the Real Size Prototypes for the CBM-TRD in Frankfurt — •milad tanha for the CBM collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Frankfurt, Germany

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is planned to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities using high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) will be used to track charged particle and identify electrons.

At the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Frankfurt (IKF), we design, develop and test real size TRD prototypes with different thicknesses and structures e.g. alternating wire-planes. In this talk, we will present the research and development of TRD prototypes and using realistic readout chain. We will show some results from tests at the CERN-PS and the corresponding results (e.g. pad response function and rate stability of the chamber) will be discussed.
