Abstract
The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Anti-Proton and Ion Research (FAIR) accelerator facility in Darmstadt, Germany, aims to explore the strongly interacting QCD matter at very high net baryon density and moderate temperature, by colliding heavy-ions in the beam energy range 4–40 AGeV. One of the main goals of CBM research program is to look for the signatures of deconfinement and chiral phase transition. Measurement of low mass vector mesons (LMVMs) via their di-muonic decay channel has been proposed to be a key observable in this context. The Muon Chamber (MUCH) at CBM, built with a novel technology of segmented absorber system, is a dedicated detector for muon identification and tracking. In this article, we discuss details of MUCH construction, its latest design and its overall performance in detection of di-muons from LMVMs.
