We address the feasibility of accessing proton to pion Transition Distribution Amplitudes with the future PANDA detector at the FAIR facility. Assuming a factorized cross section, feasibility studies of measuring pp → e+e−π0 with PANDA have been performed at the center of mass energy squared s = 5 GeV2 and s=10 GeV2, in the kinematic region of four-momentum transfer 3.0 < q2 < 4.3 GeV2 and 5 < q2 < 9 GeV2, respectively,with a neutral pion scattered in the forward or backward cone |cosθπ0|> 0.5 in the pp center of mass frame. These include detailed simulations on signal reconstruction efficiency, rejection of the most severe background channel, i.e. pp → π+π−π0, and the feasibility of the measurement using a sample of 2 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The cross sections obtained with the simulations are used to test QCD factorization at the leading order by measuring scaling laws and fitting angular distributions.
