PANDA Phase One

Abstract The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany, provides unique possibilities a new generation of hadron-, nuclear- atomic physics experiments. future antiProton ANnihilations at DArmstadt (PANDA or $$\overline{\mathrm{P}}$$ P ¯ ANDA) experiment FAIR will offer broad programme, covering different aspects the strong interaction. Understanding latter non-perturbative regime remains one greatest challenges contemporary physics. antiproton–nucleon interaction studied with PANDA crucial tests this area. Furthermore, high-intensity, low-energy domain allows searches beyond Standard Model, e.g. through high precision symmetry tests. This paper takes into account staged approach detector setup delivered luminosity from accelerator. available time delivery first antiproton beams HESR storage ring is referred to as Phase One setup. programme that achievable during outlined paper.
