Research and Development for the PANDA Backward EndCap of the Electromagnetic Calorimeter — Samer Ahmed1,2, Luigi Capozza1, Alaa Dbeyssi1, Phillip Grasemann1,2, Frank Maas1,2,3, Javier Mateo Cardena1, Oliver Noll1,2, •David Rodriguez Pineiro1, Sahra Wolff1,2, Manuel Zambrana1,2, and Iris Zimmermann1,2 for the PANDA collaboration — 1Helmholtz-Institut Mainz, Mainz, Germany — 2Institute of Nuclear Physics, Mainz, Germany — 3PRISMA Cluster of Excellence, Mainz, Germany
The PANDA experiment will be one of the key projects of the new accelerator facility FAIR in Darmstadt. With its mature detector system, it will be able to observe a variety of physical channels. Thus it will make a huge contribution to the understanding of the strong interaction. The electromagnetic process group (EMP) in Mainz is developing the backward end-cap (BWEC) of the electromagnetic calorimeter. For its construction various tests regarding mechanics have been carried out and are foreseen within the R&D framework. A full prototype of the moving support system was built and tested, comprising insertion rails and a movable trolley base. The rails were divided into two sections (fixed and removable in PANDA). A big change in the crystal support is being implemented making the detector more modular. FR4 holders in different configurations (fiber orientation and positioning) were tested. In addition, thermal studies using our current proto16 are being performed.
