PANDA will use proton–antiproton annihilation to study strong interaction
In nuclear physics and particle physics, the strong interaction, also called the strong force or strong nuclear force, is one of the four known fundamental interaction, fundamental interactions. It confines Quark, quarks into proton, protons, n ...
physics at medium energy including hadron
In particle physics, a hadron is a composite subatomic particle made of two or more quarks held together by the strong nuclear force. Pronounced , the name is derived . They are analogous to molecules, which are held together by the electri ...

Antiproton Beam
A proton beam will be provided by the existing GSI facility and will be further accelerated by FAIR's SIS100 ring accelerator up to 30 GeV. By the beam hitting the antiproton production target, antiprotons with a momentum of around 3 GeV/c will be produced and can be collected and pre-cooled in the Collector Ring (CR). Afterwards the antiprotons will be injected into the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR). This race track shaped storage ring will host the P̄ANDA experiment. The antiprotons can be cooled using stochastic and later also electron cooling and afterwards slowed down or further accelerated to momenta from p = 1.5 GeV/c up to p = 15 GeV/c. There are two operation modes of the HESR. In the high-resolution mode a momentum resolution of and a luminosity of can be achieved. In the high luminosity mode the momentum resolution will be and the luminosity .The Spectrometer
The P̄ANDA detector consists of a Target Spectrometer surrounding the target area and a Forward Spectrometer to detect particles going into the very forward direction. This guarantees an almost 4π acceptance and a good momentum resolution.
