  1. Physics of High Baryon Densities - The CBM experiment at FAIR Subhasis Chattopadhyay Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata for the CBM collaboration • Outline: •  CBM physics •  CBM setup • Feasibility studies • Detector R&D CBM

  2. Exploring the QCD Phase diagram • RHIC result: • new state of matter = perfect liquid? • Tf = 160 – 165 MeV • L-QCD Predictions: • TC = 151 ± 7 ± 4 MeV ( μB=0 ) • (Z. Fodor, arXiv:0712.2930 hep-lat) • TC = 192 ± 7 ± 4 MeV ( μB=0 ) • (F. Karsch, arXiv:0711.0661 hep-lat) • crossover transition at μB=0 • (Z. Fodor, arXiv:0712.2930 hep-lat) • 1. order phase transition • with critical endpoint at μB > 0 High-energy heavy-ion collision experiments: RHIC, LHC: cross over transition, QGP at high T and low ρ Low-energy RHIC:search for QCD-CP with bulk observables NA61@SPS: search for QCD-CP with bulk observables CBM@FAIR: scan of the phase diagram with bulk and rare observables

  3. Questions of QCD  What is the equation-of-state of strongly interacting matter? (core collapse supernovae, neutron stars, early universe)  What is the structure of strongly interacting matter as a function of T and ρB ? (hot and dense hadronic medium, deconfined phase, phase transitions ?)  What are the in-medium properties of hadrons as a function of T and ρB ? (restoration of chiral symmetry ?) After RHIC & LHC we need measurements at large baryon density

  4. What do we need to measure? The equation-of-state at high B  collective flow of hadrons  particle production at threshold energies (open charm?) Deconfinement phase transition at high B excitation function and flow of strangeness (K, , , , ) excitation function and flow of charm (J/ψ, ψ', D0, D, c) QCD critical endpoint  excitation function of event-by-event fluctuations (K/π,...) Onset of chiral symmetry restoration at high B in-medium modifications of hadrons(,, e+e-(μ+μ-), D) CBM: detailed measurement over precise energy bins (pp, pA, AA) FAIR beamenergy range 2-45 AGeV (protons 90 GeV)
