PANDA: An Experiment To Investigate Hadron Structure

Using Antiproton Beams

• Overview of the GSI Upgrade

• Overview of the PANDA Physics Program

• Exotic Hadrons in the Charm Mass Region

• HESR: High Energy Storage Ring

• The PANDA Detector


The GSI Future Project

• Heavy Ion Physics: hot and dense nuclear matter

• Nuclear Structure: paths of nucleo-synthesis

• Ion and laser induced Plasma: very high energy densities• Atomic physics: QED, strong EM fields, Ion-Matter interactions• Physics with Antiprotons properties of the strong force

Project approved Feb 2003


What Do We Want To Know?

• Why don‘t we observe isolated quarks?Q-Q potential in the charmonioum system

• Are there other forms of hadrons?e.g. Hybrids qqg or Glueballs gg

• Why are hadrons so much heavier than their constituents?

p-A interactions

Charmonium Spectroscopy


Open Questions `

c(3590)

• Partial width mostly unknown• Precision spectroscopy

• confirm hc

• Little is known about states above DD


Why Antiprotons?

• e+e- annihilation via virtual photon: only states with Jpc = 1--

• In pp annihilation all mesons can be formed

• Resolution of the mass and width is only limited by the beam momentum resolution

High Resolution

• Crystal Ball: typical resolution ~ 10 MeV

• Fermilab: 240 keV

p/p < 10-4 needed


Why Are Hadrons So Heavy?

Hadron Masses

Protons = (uud) ?2Mu + Md ~ 15 MeV/c2

Mp = 938 MeV/c2

(P.Kienle)

no low mass hadrons (except , K, )

spontaneously broken chiral symmetry

Spontaneous Breaking of Chiral Symmetry

Although the QCD Lagrangian is symmetric, the ground state need not be. (e.g. Fe below TCurie )

Example:


Quark Condensate

The QCD vacuum is not empty 0qq

Hadron masses are generated by the strong interaction with <qq> (also with gluon condensate)

The density of the quark condensate will change as a function of temperature and density in nuclei.

This should lead to modifications of the hadron’s spectral properties.

Much lower momentum for heavy producedparticles (2 GeV for “free”)
