  1. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR Peter Senger (GSI) Outline: Scientific mission Experimental and technical challenges Collaboration with Ukraine FAIR Meeting Kiev, March 18 2008

  2. Discovery of the first pulsar in 1968 Crab nebula: ashes of a core collapse supernova observed in 1054 by Chinese

  3. Super-dense matter in nature: neutron star F. Weber J.Phys. G27 (2001) 465

  4. Extreme states of strongly interacting matter baryons hadrons partons Compression + heating = quark-gluon matter (pion production) Neutron stars Early universe

  5. The phase diagram of strongly interacting matter World-wide experimental (and theoretical) efforts:  RHIC-BNL (USA) and LHC-CERN: high temperatures  CBM-FAIR: high baryon densities

  6. Messengers from the dense phase ? U+U 23 AGeV

  7. Experimental challenges Central Au+Au collision at 25 AGeV: URQMD + GEANT4 160 p 400 - 400 + 44 K+ 13 K-  up to 107 Au+Au reactions/sec  determination of (displaced) vertices with high resolution ( 50 m) identification of leptons and hadrons

  8. Identification of strange particles in heavy-ion collisions with Silicon Tracking System  Silicon tracker: 2 hybrid pixel (750 µm each), 4 microstrips (400 µm each)  Strips with 50 µm pitch and 5o stereo angle  full event reconstruction central Au+Au collisions at 25 AGeV: -- (sss) (uds) (dss) total efficiency 10.6% 2.1% 1.0%

  9. Identification of charmed particles in heavy-ion collisions with Silicon Tracking System K- D0 π+ τ = 123 μm/c • Track reconstruction: • realistic magnetic field, • 2 MAPS, 6 micro-strip detectors • proton identification via TOF D production cross sections from HSD Hadronic background from UrQMD τ = 317 μm/c D0

  10. The Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment Transition Radiation Detectors Tracking Detector ECAL Muon detection System Resistive Plate Chambers (TOF) Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector Silicon Tracking System Dipol magnet Silicon Tracking System:  1 Mio Strips, radiation hard sensors  ultra-light mechanical structure  ultra-thin micro-cables, 55 cm long, 100 μm pitch

  11. Cost estimate CBM experiment (as of 2005) Added in 2006: Muon detection system 11 Mio euro

  12. Silicon detector development Charge, Strip ” k” Charge, Strip “k+1” 14 µm Al on 10 µm Kapton 55 cm long, 1024 lines, 100 µm pitch New "Technology wafer" under production at CIS: Focus on radiation hardness. Detector tests at INR Kiev First mechanical module pre-prototypes, INR Kiev. Analog readout cable, first pre-prototype. SE SRTIIE Kharkov. Detector test board under production at GSI.

  13. Ukraine in CBM Scientists at GSI from Ukraine (Nat. T. Shevchenko Univ. Kiev):  Iouri Vassiliev (Postdoc)  Tetyana Galatyuk (PhD student)  Dmitry Kresan (PhD student)  Anton Lymanets (PhD student)  + sommerstudents Collaborators in Ukraine:  Prof. Dr. Vyacheslav Borshchov State Enterprise Scientific Research Technological Institute of Instrument Engineering, Kharkov, Ukraine  Prof. Dr. Igor M.
