Abstract

PANDA (antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt) is an experiment that will run at the GSI laboratory, Darmstadt, Germany, in 2019. A high intensity antiproton beam with momentum up to 15 GeV/c will collide on a fixed proton target (pellet target or jet target). A wide range of physics topics will be investigated: char- monium states and open charm states above the DD threshold; exotic states like glueballs, oddballs, hybrids, multiquarks, molecules; the spectroscopy of the excited states of strange and charm baryons; non-perturbative QCD dynamics in the pp production cross section of charm and strange baryons and their spin correlations; the behaviour of hadrons in nuclear matter; hypernuclear physics; electromagnetic proton form factors in the timelike region; the CP violation in the charm sector, rare and forbidden decays of charm baryons and mesons.

Summary

Introduction

PANDA is an experiment that will run at the GSI laboratory in Darmstadt (Frankfurt, Germany) around 2019. It will continue and extend the successful physic program started at Cern with LEAR and Fermilab with E760/E835. The PANDA collaboration is composed by a group of 420 physicists from 53 institutions of 16 countries. The experiment will use a very high intensity antiproton beam with a momentum ranging from 1.5 GeV/c to 15 GeV/c, on a fixed proton target (pellet target or jet tgaoregsetf)r.oTmhe√rsan=ge2.o2f5eunpertgoy √insth=e5c.e4n7teernoafblminagssthceovsteurdedy of a wide physics topic range, some of them described .
