Abstract
The PANDA detector will be built as a part of the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt. The availability of an antiproton beam with beam momenta up to 15 GeV/c will make possible a broad nuclear physics program. Topics like hadron spectroscopy in the charmonium mass region, the property of hadrons inside nuclear matter, hypernuclear physics, or nucleon properties using electromagnetic processes are part of the physics program of PANDA. The main part of this contribution concentrates on the feasibility of measurement of nucleon structure observables, such as electromagnetic form factors or transition distribution amplitudes, via experiments using electromagnetic processes in PANDA.

The highintensity and high-resolution antiproton beam of the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR), ranging from pp = 1.5 GeV/c to pp = 15 GeV/c, of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt will be an excellent instrument to fulfill the ambitious physics program foreseen by the PANDA collaboration [1]
Summary
Understanding Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), describing the strong force, is one of the most challenging fields of physics. The highintensity and high-resolution antiproton beam of the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR), ranging from pp = 1.5 GeV/c to pp = 15 GeV/c, of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt will be an excellent instrument to fulfill the ambitious physics program foreseen by the PANDA collaboration [1]. This includes several fields of research: Hadron spectroscopy: The study of QCD bound states (charmonium, D-meson and baryon spectroscopy, exotic states...) is of fundamental importance for a better, quantitative understanding of QCD. A complete description of the different setups can be found in various technical design reports [2,3,4,5,6,7]
