Abstract

The PANDA experiment represents the central part of the hadron physics branch of the antiproton program of the new Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt, Germany. It will investigate antiproton annihilations with almost 4π acceptance from two subsequent spectrometers in the momentum range from 1.5 GeV/c to 15 GeV/c. The gluon rich reaction product of antiproton-proton and antiproton-nucleus collisions on one hand and the high intensity and phase space cooled antiproton beam of the HESR on the other hand constitutes an ideal environment to study non-conventional hadronic states. It allows the high precision spectroscopy of the charmonium system and the copious production of hypernuclei.
