Abstract
High-energy heavy-ion collisions provide a tool to study strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, i. e. densities and temperatures. The goal of this experimental programme is to create and study a state of matter where quarks and gluons are no longer confined into hadrons. Several experimental findings suggest that these deconfinement sets in at beam energies of about 30 GeV per nucleon. The CBM experiment at the future facility FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, will investigate this energy domain (10 45 AGeV) with respect to the first-order phase transition from hadronic to partonic matter, the properties of extremely dense nuclear matter, and the critical point of QCD. Special emphasis will be put on very rare probes like charmed hadrons, multi-strange hyperons, and di-lepton spectroscopy. We will outline the planned experiment, the status of preparations, and the expected physics performances of the CBM experiment.
