Status of the PANDA experiment at FAIR
Alexander VASILIEV · 2012
PANDA (anti-Proton ANnihilations at DArmstadt) is a next generation hadron physics detector planned to be operated at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt, Germany.It will use intensive cooled antiproton beams with a momentum between 1.5 GeV/c and 15 GeV/c interacting with various internal targets.The PANDA detector is a state-of-the-art internal target detector at the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at FAIR allowing the detection and identification of neutral and charged particles almost in the whole solid angle.The PANDA physics program and the experimental set-up as well as the current status of the experiment are described in this article.
