Abstract

The scientific mission of the Compressed Baryonic Matter(CBM) experiment is the study of the nuclear matter properties at the high baryon densities in heavy ion collisions at the Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. We present the results on JINR participation in the CBM experiment. JINR teams are responsible on the design, the coordination of superconducting(SC) magnet manufacture, its testing and installation in CBM cave. Together with Silicon Tracker System it will provide the momentum resolution better 1[Formula: see text] for different configuration of CBM setup. The characteristics and technical aspects of the magnet are discussed. JINR plays also a significant role in the manufacture of two straw tracker station for the muon detection system. JINR team takes part in the development of new method for simulation, processing and analysis experimental data for different basic detectors of CBM.

Highlights

  • The investigation of nuclear matter at high temperatures and/or at high baryon densities is one of the most challenging fields of modern physics

  • The Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram demonstrate a rich structure at finite values of baryon chemical potentials, such as the critical point, the predicted first order phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter, and the chiral phase transition

  • The physicists from JINR are participating in the several sub-projects of Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment.The design and production of SC dipole magnet, the development and Compressed baryonic matter at FAIR: JINR participation production of a straw tube tracker and the study of multiparticle dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at CBM are the main directions

Summary

Introduction

The investigation of nuclear matter at high temperatures and/or at high baryon densities is one of the most challenging fields of modern physics. The experimental discovery of these landmarks of the QCD phase diagram would be a major breakthrough in our understanding of nuclear matter properties. This is an Open Access article published by World Scientific Publishing Company. Pioneering heavy-ion experiments has been curried out at AGS in Brookhaven[1] and at low CERN-SPS beam energies[2] in order to explore the QCD phase diagram at large baryon-chemical potentials. The theoretical description of physics at high net baryon densities within the fundamental theory of strong interaction, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), is still strongly evolving and the scientific progress in “strong” nonperturbative QCD is driven by new experimental data. The CBM experiment will enter a new era with diagnostic probes never measured before in the FAIR energy range, and has a unique research potential
