Particle Identification at PANDA

Le résumé fourni par la source

The PANDA experiment at the new Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe at GSI, Darmstadt, will study fundamental questions of hadron physics and QCD using high-intensity cooled antiproton beams with momenta between 1.5 GeV/c and 15 GeV/c. Efficient Particle Identification (PID) for a wide momentum range and the full solid angle is required for reconstructing the various physics channels of the PANDA program. Hadronic PID will be provided by sub-systems using Cherenkov light, time-of-flight, and dE/dx measurements. Electromagnetic calorimeters will identify electrons and photons while muons will be detected by a muon range system. This contribution will give an overview of the PANDA-PID systems with an emphasis on the barrel and endcap DIRC counters and the SciTil (Scintillating Tile) system.
