Status of the CBM-TRD — •Philipp Kähler for the CBM collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, Universität Münster

The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) of the Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) will be based on four layers of irregular foam foil radiator and MWPC. It is designed to provide electron/positron identification for di-electron measurements, light-nuclei identification relevant for hyper-nuclei analyses and charged-particle tracking.

The general status of the CBM-TRD project will be presented. This includes studies on the high-rate performance at the CERN-GIF and results from electron beam measurements at DESY. The self-triggered readout, based on the SPADIC-ASIC, and its usage in the FAIR Phase 0 programme will be covered, and the overall system construction status will be summarised.

This work is supported by the BMBF grants 05P19PMFC1 and 05P19RFFC1, as well as the GSI F&E programme.
