Development of tracking detectors for FAIR

Abstract

The international research facility FAIR is under realization next to the GSI Laboratory in Darmstadt, Germany. Very intense, high-quality beams of primary and secondary ions will provide to a large scientific community unprecedented new research opportunities in the fields of nuclear, hadron, atomic and plasma physics. Advanced experimental instrumentation will be required, including several experiments comprising high-performance silicon tracking detector systems. This article reviews the concepts of the tracking detectors of the nuclear interaction experiment CBM, the hadron physics experiment PANDA, the nuclear structure and reaction experiments EXL and R 3 B, and presents progress with their development.

The Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment at FAIR

“…The high multiplicity of up to 700 charged particles per central nuclear collision is reconstructed with the Silicon Tracking System [7]. The measurement of essentially all CBM observables depends on the high performance of the STS.…”
