EU Design Kick Off Meeting

General Introduction: Physics/Design requirements

Four TasksA) Photon detection and readout for DIRC detectors in a high

rate hadronic environment

B) Design of a high resolution silicon micro tracking device

C) Design of the magnet system and integration of the EMC

D) Feasibility studies to demonstrate the physics performance of PANDA (Simulations)

PANDA Physics Goals

Pbar Annihilation in the Charmonium region

• Charmonium: Quark confining potential

• Search for Exotic Hadrons Glueballs/Hybrids

• Charm Production in pbar A Reactions

• Double Hypernuclei

• Additional Topics

Design Requirements

• Unsurpassed luminosity and beam quality required

• Highly complex interplay of detector and accelerator

• Detector magnets are part of the storage ring• Special targets needed• High event rates• Micro tracking• Low branching ratios excellent PID
