Production of detector modules for the CBM-TRD at FAIR — •Spicker Dennis¹ and Kähler Philipp² for the CBM collaboration — ¹Institut für Kernphysik, Goethe Uni Frankfurt — ²Institut für Kernphysik, WWU Münster

At the forthcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), the Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) is designed to measure particles resulting from heavy-ion collisions at exceedingly high interaction rates. To this end, the data acquisition system will operate in a free-streaming mode, eliminating the need for a hierarchical trigger system. The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD), a subsystem of the CBM experiment, will comprise four layers of Multi-Wire-Proportional-Chambers (MWPC), each equipped with a foam radiator enabling the generation of transition radiation. The principal objective of the TRD is to distinguish between electrons and pions, to augment the light nuclei identification, and to provide tracking information. This contribution presents the latest advancements towards series production of MWPC modules for the outer region of the detector, as well as providing an update on the status of the final version of the readout electronics for these modules. Supported by the German BMBF-grant 05P24RF2
