Universe in the Lab.

Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is a future facility being build at GSI Darmstadt. Watch the introduction below.

Proton Annihilation

The full dector being built at FAIR adjacent to GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research. Proton ANnihiation at DArmstadt (PANDA) is shown below:

Panda Experiment

The sub-detector, STT is part of the central tracking system at PANDA. Made from Straw Tubes, gives $4\pi$ coverage.

Compressed Baryonic Matter

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment will be one of the major scientific pillars of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. The goal of the CBM research program is to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities using high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. This includes the study of the equation-of-state of nuclear matter at neutron star core densities, and the search for phase transitions, chiral symmetry restoration, and exotic forms of (strange) QCD matter. The CBM detector is designed to measure the collective behavior of hadrons, together with rare diagnostic probes such as multi-strange hyperons, charmed particles and vector mesons decaying into lepton pairs with unprecedented precision and statistics.

CBM Experiment

Time of Flight (TOF) detector is made of Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCS).
