Progress of the development of the PANDA FAIR Phase-0 electromagnetic calorimeter — Luigi Capozza¹, Jonas Geisbüsch¹, Ravi Gowdru Manjunata¹, Samet Katilmis¹, Frank Maas^1,2,3, Oliver Noll^1,2, David Rodriguez Piñeiro¹, Paul Schöner¹, •Christoph Rosner¹, and Sahra Wolff¹ — ¹Helmholtz-Institut Mainz, Mainz, Germany — ²Institute of Nuclear Physics, Mainz, Germany — ³PRISMA Cluster of Excellence, Mainz, Germany

The PANDA experiment will be one of the main pillars of the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt. In the scope of the PANDA FAIR Phase-0 project, the backward electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) of Panda will be used at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) accelerator to determine the neutral pion transition form factor, which is a crucial ingredient to reduce the uncertainty of the theoretical calculation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. Together with an improved experimental uncertainty, this will allow to shed light on the muon g-2 puzzle.

This contribution focusses on the progress of the detector development for the FAIR Phase-0 version of the backward EMC. The calibration of the submodules which the detector comprises will be discussed, as well as a first test assembly of the detector modules in their final configuration. Finally, the plans to install the detector at MAMI will be presented.
