Hadron physics with proton and deuteron beams at the CBM experiment — •James Ritman for the CBM collaboration — GSI mbH, Darmstadt — Ruhr-Uni-Bochum

The high-intensity 30 GeV/c proton and deuteron beams soon available at FAIR will enable a rich program of hadron and QCD studies. These beams will be directed towards the large acceptance CBM detector, which provides an excellent basis for fully exclusive reconstruction of all final-state reaction products. These data will not only play a crucial role in contextualising the results from heavy-ion reactions, but will also provide great opportunities in the realm of hadron physics. The physics program includes investigations of hadron-hadron interactions and the composition of hadrons, as well as the mapping of baryon and meson spectra, including exotic states and quantifying hadron structure. This talk will present an overview of both, the detector set-up and expected performance for the related measurements.
