“…The Forward Detector has full azimuthal coverage for polar angles in the range 0.5 • to 7 • . It consists of two Straw Tracking Stations (STS1, STS2), which are based on instrumentation developed for PANDA [37,38], and a Forward Resistive Plate Chamber (FRPC) detector for Timeof-Flight (ToF) measurements. These detectors are located 3.1 m, 4.6 m and 7.5 m downstream of the target, respectively.…”

“…The equipment behind the STS2 is part of the ECAL frame with the RPC detectors in front of it 5 × 10 4 and a maximum drift time of about 130 ns for a maximum drift length equal to the straw tube radius (5 mm). The spatial resolution for each straw tube layer has been measured to be about 0.13 mm (σ ) for minimum ionizing protons [38]. The average hit detection efficiency for protons with momentum of 2 GeV/c incident on a single straw is measured to be over 95 %.…”

A feasibility study has been performed in order to investigate the performance of the HADES detector to measure the electromagnetic decays of the hyperon resonances $$\Sigma (1385)^{0}$$ Σ ( 1385 ) 0 , $$\Lambda (1405)$$ Λ ( 1405 ) and $$\Lambda (1520)$$ Λ ( 1520 ) as well as the production of double strange baryon systems $$\Xi ^{-}$$ Ξ - and $$\Lambda $$ Λ $$\Lambda $$ Λ in p + p reactions at a beam kinetic energy of $$4.5\,{\mathrm{GeV}}$$ 4.5 GeV . The existing HADES detector will be upgraded by a new Forward Detector, which extends the detector acceptance into a range of polar angles that plays a crucial role for these investigations. The analysis of each channel is preceded by a consideration of the production cross-sections. Afterwards the expected signal count rates using a target consisting of either liquid hydrogen or polyethylene are summarized.

“…Already the upgrades of the GSI accelerators allow for extensive testing of FAIR components and also provide beam times for tests of novel FAIR instrumentation and thereby enabling an attractive intermediate research program in FAIR phase 0. For example, the upgrade to higher intensities from the SIS18 benefits the hadronic-matter experimental program of HADES (High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer) [18] which will already employ instrumentation of FAIR experiments, CBM and PANDA, in 2020 [19][20][21].…”

The international accelerator Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR) is the next generation accelerator complex for fundamental and applied research with antiproton and ion beams. FAIR will provide worldwide unique facilities enabling a wide spectrum of unprecedented forefront research in hadron and nuclear physics, in atomic physics and nuclear astrophysics as well as in applied sciences like materials research, plasma physics and radiation biophysics. Key features of FAIR are intense beams of antiprotons and ions up to the heaviest and even exotic nuclei covering an energy range from rest up to 30 GeV/u. We present a brief overview on the current construction status of the FAIR accelerator facilities and the associated research pillars with emphasis on PANDA . PANDA (antiProton Annihilation in Darmstadt), is the central experiment to fully exploit the physics research potential of the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) with intense, phase-space cooled, antiprotons up to 15 GeV/c impinging on a variety of fixed targets. The PANDA detector features two spectrometers, the Target Spectrometer with a SC solenoid magnet of 2 T and the Forward Spectrometer with a 2 Tm dipole magnet. In both spectrometers the PANDA collaboration employs a multitude of modern detector technologies to provide tracking, particle identification, calorimetry and muon identification, arranged hermetically close to 4π around the interaction region with additional detectors for coverage of the forward boosted particles. Focusing on the various PANDA detector systems we present an overview of recent developments, the detector construction progress and conclude with an outline for a phased deployment of PANDA at FAIR.

“…For momentum analysis of charged reaction products in magnetic field in these two spectrometers, the central Straw Tube Tracker [2] and the Forward Tracker (FT) [3] are used, respectively. The trackers are based on 10 mm in diameter straw tube detectors made of 27 µm thick aluminised-Mylar film and containing a 20 µm diameter gold-plated tungsten anode wire [4]. The straws are filled with Ar:CO 2 (90:10) gas mixture at an overpressure of 1 bar.…”

Study of the space charge effect in straw tube detectors for the PANDA experiment

2019

The straw tube detectors in the PANDA experiment will work in high particle fluxes reaching up to 25 kHz/cm2. We performed measurement of the gas gain drop in the PANDA straws due to the space charge effect expected at the high particle fluxes. The applied experimental method and obtained results are presented and are compared with calculations of the gas gain drop based on known mobility of positive ions.
