Status and production of the CBM Transition Radiation Detector — •Philipp Kähler for the CBM collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik, WWU Münster

The upcoming Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will investigate the QCD phase diagram at high net-baryon densities and moderate temperatures. In these measurements, the CBM Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) will contribute to the excellent electron identification, enabling to study the hot and dense medium via di-electron analyses at intermediate masses. Furthermore, the TRD will serve as an intermediate tracking station as well as provide the identification of light nuclei in the hypernuclei programme of CBM.

This talk summarises the status of the CBM-TRD project. A report on the detector module (MWPC) production will be given, which has been started. Design details of the new intrinsically gas-tight cathode pad-plane are included. Moreover, the current plans for the periphery are covered as well as the participation in the FAIR phase 0 programme mCBM at the SIS18 accelerator. This work is supported by BMBF grants 05P21RFFC1 and 05P21PMFC1.
