Technical Design Report for the: PANDA Micro Vertex Detector

This document illustrates the technical layout and the expected performance of the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) of the PANDA experiment. The MVD will detect charged particles as close as possible to the interaction zone. Design criteria and the optimisation process as well as the technical solutions chosen are discussed and the results of this process are subjected to extensive Monte Carlo physics studies. The route towards realisation of the detector is outlined.Comment: 189 pages, 225 figures, 41 table

Contribution of the MVD to the charm spectroscopy at PANDA

P@?ANDA is a dedicated antiproton experiment at the future FAIR facility at GSI benefiting from antiproton beams with unprecedented intensity and quality. High-precision spectroscopy in the charm quark sector is part of the core physics program. T he micro-vertex-detector (MVD) is the innermost part of the tracking system. It plays a key role for the vertex reconstruction and momentum resolution of charged particles. This article contains a short description of the P@?ANDA experiment and the MVD de sign. Detector simulations for the MVD are based on a detailed model allowing a realistic description. Presented results of physics simulations refer to selected reaction channels with charged particles in the final state. Besides the reconstruction of D- mesons a study of the X(3872) is included

Technical Design Report for the: PANDA Straw Tube Tracker

This document describes the technical layout and the expected performance of the Straw Tube Tracker (STT), the main tracking detector of the PANDA target spectrometer. The STT encloses a Micro-Vertex-Detector (MVD) for the inner tracking and is followed in beam direction by a set of GEM-stations. The tasks of the STT are the measurement of the particle momentum from the reconstructed trajectory and the measurement of the specific energy-loss for a particle identification. Dedicated simulations with full analysis studies of certain proton-antiproton reactions, identified as being benchmark tests for the whole \Panda scientific program, have been performed to test the STT layout and performance. The results are presented, and the time lines to construct the STT are described
