The TRD in CBM: status and steps towards series production — •Florian Roether — Institut für Kernphysik, Frankfurt, Deutschland

In 2025, the Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment (CBM) at FAIR is scheduled to start operation. Starting end of 2023, the various detectors will be installed, including the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD). The main task of the TRD is to identify electrons above momenta of 1 GeV/c. In addition, the TRD also contributes to the identification of nuclear fragments. After an intensive and thorough research and development phase, we will start series production of the chambers for the TRD in 2022.

This presentation will summarize the status of the project and the development of the workflows required for series production. We will also present first results and findings from the pre-series production of the detector chambers.
