    Feasibility studies for the measurement of time-like proton electromagnetic form factors from p p¯ ? µ+µ? at PANDA at FAIR
    (Springer, 2021) Barucca, G.; Davi, F.; Lancioni, G.; Mengucci, P.; Montalto, L.; Natali, P. P.; Paone, N.; Denizli, Haluk; Er, Nuray; Yılmaz, Ali; Keskin, U.
    This paper reports on Monte Carlo simulation results for future measurements of the moduli of time-like proton electromagnetic form factors, vertical bar G(E)vertical bar and vertical bar G(M)vertical bar, using the (p) over barp -> mu(+)mu(-) reaction at PANDA (FAIR). The electromagnetic form factors are fundamental quantities parameterizing the electric and magnetic structure of hadrons. This work estimates the statistical and total accuracy with which the form factors can be measured at PANDA, using an analysis of simulated data within the PandaRoot software framework. The most crucial background channel is (p) over barp -> pi(+)pi(-), due to the very similar behavior of muons and pions in the detector. The suppression factors are evaluated for this and all other relevant background channels at different values of antiproton beam momentum. The signal/background separation is based on a multivariate analysis, using the Boosted Decision Trees method. An expected background subtraction is included in this study, based on realistic angular distributions of the background contribution. Systematic uncertainties are considered and the relative total uncertainties of the form factor measurements are presented.

    PANDA phase one
    (SPRINGER, 2021) Barucca, G.; Davi, F.; Lancioni, G.; Mengucci, P.; Montalto, L.; Natali, P. P.; Paone, N.; Denizli, Haluk; Er, Nuray; Yılmaz, Ali
    The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany, provides unique possibili ties for a new generation of hadron-, nuclear- and atomic physics experiments. The future antiProton ANnihilations at DArmstadt (PANDA or PANDA) experiment at FAIR will offer a broad physics programme, covering different aspects of the strong interaction. Understanding the latter in the non perturbative regime remains one of the greatest challenges in contemporary physics. The antiproton–nucleon interaction studied with PANDA provides crucial tests in this area. Fur thermore, the high-intensity, low-energy domain of PANDA allows for searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, e.g. through high precision symmetry tests. This paper takes into account a staged approach for the detector setup and for the delivered luminosity from the accelerator. The available detector setup at the time of the delivery of the first antiproton beams in the HESR storage ring is referred to as the Phase One setup. The physics programme that is achievable during Phase One is outlined in this paper.

    Study of excited ? baryons with the P¯ ANDA detector
    (SPRINGER, 2021) Barucca, G.; Davi, F.; Lancioni, G.; Mengucci, P.; Montalto, L.; Denizli, Haluk; Er, Nuray; Yılmaz, Ali
    The study of baryon excitation spectra provides insight into the inner structure of baryons. So far, most of the world-wide efforts have been directed towards N * and Delta spectroscopy. Nevertheless, the study of the double and triple strange baryon spectrum provides independent information to the N * and Delta spectra. The future antiproton experiment (P) over bar ANDA will provide direct access to final states containing a (Xi) over bar Xi pair, for which production cross sections up to mu b are expected in (p) over barp reactions. With a luminosity of L = 10(31) cm(-2) s(-1) in the first phase of the experiment, the expected cross sections correspond to a production rate of similar to 10(6) events/day. With a nearly 4 pi detector acceptance, (P) over bar ANDA will thus be a hyperon factory. In this study, reactions of the type (p) over barp -> (Xi) over bar (+)Xi*(-) as well as (p) over barp -> (Xi) over bar*(+)Xi(-) with various decay modes are investigated. For the exclusive reconstruction of the signal events a full decay tree fit is used, resulting in reconstruction efficiencies between 3 and 5%. This allows high statistics data to be collected within a few weeks of data taking.
