PANDA Wiki Home

Welcome to the PANDA Wiki. This page only covers selected topics. Hence, please also visit the PANDA Homepage.

Physics Topics

• Charmonium spectroscopy.
• Search for gluonic excitations (hybrids and glueballs).
• Multi-quark states.
• Open and hidden charm in nuclei.
• Open charm spectroscopy.
• Hypernuclear physics.
• Electromagnetic processes.

These and selected further topics will be studied at PANDA with unprecedented accuracy. Please find a detailed description in the PANDA Physics Performance Report ( pdf 10MB, arXiv:0903.3905) and a 4 page summary on arXiv:physics/0701090.

Experimental Setup

The PANDA experiment at FAIR is a fixed target experiment at the antiproton High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR). It comprises two large magnetic spectrometers:

• Target Spectrometer covering angles from 5(10) to 170°,
• Forward Spectrometer covering angles from 0 to 5(10)° in vertical and horizontal planes, respectively.

In combination, the two spectrometers allow for tracking, momentum reconstruction and particle identification in close to 4 π geometry.

We are currently in the process of finalising our desing. We have yet published the following Technical Design Reports (expert reviewed and acceppted by STI):

• Technical Design Report for the PANDA Solenoid and Dipole Spectrometer Magnets, Feb 2009 ( pdf 42MB, arXiv:0907.0169)
• Technical Design Report for PANDA Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMC), Oct. 2008 ( pdf 16MB, arXiv:0810.1216)

and the Technical Progress Report published in Feb. 2005 ( pdf 46MB).
