HADRON PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS IN ANTIPROTON–PROTON REACTIONS WITH THE PLANNED PANDA DETECTOR

摘要

Fundamental questions concerning the strong interaction are addressed by the PANDA experiment at the future FAIR facility at GSI-Darmstadt. PANDA will be a general purpose detector of modular design optimized to measure the interaction of an antiproton beam with proton and heavy nuclear targets. The physics program at PANDA covers a wide range of topics including gluonic excitations, spectroscopy of strange and charm mesons, Drell-Yan and CP violating processes. This contribution focuses on the part of the physics program dealing with antiproton - proton annihilation.
