The compressed baryonic matter experiment at FAIR

Abstract: The compressed baryonic matter (CBM) experiment will be one of the major scientific activities at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. The goal of the CBM research program is to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high-baryon densities using highenergy nucleus-nucleus collisions. This includes the study of the equation-ofstate of nuclear matter at high densities, and the search for the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions. The CBM detector is designed to mea… Show more

“…5, with a sudden variation in the EOS, especially for lower value of x σ∆ . These abrupt changes in the EOS (which would become more smoothed with a parametrization on the energy dependence of µ B and T ) may be relevant in the planning of future compressed baryonic matter experiments [68,69,70].…”

“…The diagnostic probes of the matter created in the collisions include; (i) Short lived vector mesons (ρ, ω) decaying to dilepton pairs, (ii) Production of multi-strange hyperons (Ξ, Ω) (iii) Dissociation of Charmonium (J/Ψ) and charmed hadron (D, Λ c ) states, etc. The existence of first order phase transition from hadronic to partonic matter and restoration of chiral symmetry at the large µ B is expected to be found from the FAIR energy scan program [7]. Earlier experiments such as; RHIC-AGS and CERN-SPS were aimed to explore above features through the measurement of bulk observables like; flow and momentum spectra of hadrons.…”

“…These conditions can be naturally satisfied inside the core of neutron stars, where temperatures are relatively low compared to densities which can reach values several times the normal nuclear density and hence allow deconfinement. The conditions for a BCS-BEC crossover can also be expected to be met in the planned low-energy experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and future facilities all over the world, such as the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) [3], the Nuclotron-Based Ion Collider Fcility (NICA), or the Japn Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) [4].…”
