Hadron Properties in the Nuclear Medium — the Panda Program with Reactions

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2007

The PANDA experiment at FAIR comprises the possibility to study antiproton annihilations on nuclear targets. Such reactions are ideally suited to investigate the in-medium-potential of hadrons – charmed mesons, charmonium, antikaons, antibaryons – making use of the PANDA detector system to detect the final state particles. The paper discusses connected experimental results, predictions i.a. for the so far unexplored region of the charm quark mass, and the intended experimental procedure.

Physics Performance Report for PANDA: Strong Interaction Studies with Antiprotons

2009

To study fundamental questions of hadron and nuclear physics in interactions of antiprotons with nucleons and nuclei, the universal PANDA detector will be built. Gluonic excitations, the physics of strange and charm quarks and nucleon structure studies will be performed with unprecedented accuracy thereby allowing high-precision tests of the strong interaction. The proposed PANDA detector is a state-of-the art internal target detector at the HESR at FAIR allowing the detection and identification of neutral and charged particles generated within the relevant angular and energy range. This report presents a summary of the physics accessible at PANDA and what performance can be expected.

QCD and Hadron Physics

arXiv: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology, 2015

This document presents the recommendations and scientific conclusions from the Town Meeting on QCD and Hadronic Physics that took place in the period 13-15 September 2014 at Temple University as part of the NSAC 2014 Long Range Planning process. It highlights progress in hadron physics in the seven years since the 2007 Long Range Plan (LRP07), and presents a vision for the future by identifying key questions and plausible paths to solutions which should define our next decade. In defining the priority of outstanding physics opportunities for the future, both prospects for the short (roughly 5 years) and longer term (beyond 10 years) are identified together with the facilities, personnel and other resources needed to maximize the discovery potential in hadronic physics worldwide. In this connection, the potential of an electron ion collider is highlighted.
