The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment at FAIR — •Jörg Lehnert for the CBM collaboration — GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany

The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) aims to investigate the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities. In this region a rich structure is expected, which may include a first-order phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter eventually terminating in a critical point, or even exotic phases.

The CBM experiment at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is designed to measure nucleus-nucleus collisions at SIS100 beam energies (4-14 AGeV) where strongly interacting matter with densities about 10 times as high as normal nuclear matter is expected to be produced. For high-statistics measurements of rare probes, event rates of up to 10 MHz are needed. To meet these demands, the CBM experiment uses fast and radiation hard detectors, self-triggered detector front-ends and a free-streaming readout architecture.

In this presentation the physics program of CBM will be reviewed and the current status of the experiment and its subsystems will be reported.
