Simulation studies of the future CBM experiment at GSI† — •Romain Holzmann — GSI, Darmstadt
The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment (CBM) planned
at
the future GSI accelerator facility SIS200 [1] will study heavy-ion
collisions in the energy range of 10–30 AGeV, exploring the phase diagram
of
nuclear matter at maximum reachable densities, yet moderate temperatures.
The prime goals of CBM are the exploration of the phase boundary close to
the
predicted tricritical point, as well as the study of in-medium properties
of hadrons. To this end, CBM is designed as a high-acceptance,
high-resolution
and high-rate detector for charged particles. Among the sensitive
experimental
signals to be measured are low-mass vector mesons (ρ, ω and
φ),
open charm (D+, D−, D0), hidden charm (J/Ψ) and multi-strange
baryons. Most of these are very rare probes and will need to be acquired
both
at very high event rates and with very selective triggers. Detailed
feasibility
studies of the detector concept have been started and will be presented.
