Concept of the PANDA Detector for pp&pA at GSI

1. Concept of the PANDA Detector for pp&pA at GSI • Physical motivation for hadron physics with pbars • The antiproton facility • Detector concept • Selected simulation results • Conclusions James Ritman Univ. Giessen

2. Physical Motivation • Quantitative understanding of quark confinement •  Charmonium (Bettoni, Koch) • Do hadrons other than mesons and baryons exist? glueballs and/or hybrids (Peters) • The mass of hadrons is much larger than the sumof the valence current quark masses. (SBcS) • p A interactions • Nuclear spectroscopy and the study of baryon-baryon interactions • double hypernuclei (Pochodzalla) • Future options (Poster: Ganzhur&Koch)

4. The GSI p Facility • HESR = High Energy Storage Ring • Production rate 2x107/sec • Pbeam = 1 - 15 GeV/c • Nstored= 5x1010 p • High luminosity mode • Lumin. = 2x1032 cm-2s-1 • dp/p~10-4 (stochastic cooling) • High resolution mode • dp/p~10-5(el. cooling < 8 GeV/c) • Lumin. = 1031 cm-2s-1

5. General Purpose Detector • Detector requests: • nearly 4p solid angle (partial wave analysis) • high rate capability (2107 annihilations/s) • good PID (g, e, m, p, K, p) • momentum resolution (~1%) • vertex info for D, K0S, L (ct = 317mm for D) • efficient trigger (e, m, K, D, L) • modular design (Hypernuclei experiments)

Pressemitteilung 05.02.2003Bulmahn gives green light for large-scale research equipment"We are securing an international top position for German basic research" … Together with European partners, the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt is to develop further its equipment in a phased approach and become a leading European physics centre. At least 25% of the costs amounting to €675 million are to be shouldered by foreign partners.
