Technical Design Report (TDR)

This document provides an update to the Technical Design Report for the Electromagnetic Calorimeter of the PANDA
Experiment. The original TDR was published in August 2008 (RE-TDR-2008-001).
The document was sent to the ECE. The answers to their questions are given in the second document.

This document describes the technical layout and the expected performance of the Data Acquisition system for the PANDA experiment (Phase 1). This is the latest version approved by FAIR on August 25, 2021 after the review by FAIR ECE in spring 2021.

This document presents the technical layout and the cost assessment for the infrastructure of the PANDA experiment, comprising the following major items:
- Supports: Mechanical structures to support the experimental setup, fixed and removable platforms to house equipment and to assemble the experiment, including staircases, ladders,fences, racks and related tools.
- Supplies: Distribution systems for electrical power, grounding, fluids and gases.
Based on this, the current integration planning and the installation procedure are described.

UPDATE July 3: Updated version v1.0 submitted to external referees.
UPDATE August 28: Updated version v2.0 for inspection by the PANDA CB before submission to ECE.
UPDATE September 14: Version v3.0 for submission to FAIR ECE. Bibliographies completed.

The PANDA Detector Control System (DCS) has the purpose to monitor and control all the experimental equipment of the PANDA detector.
It shall ensure the safe and efficient operation of the PANDA experiment and contribute to the collection of high-quality data.

Building a DCS requires the cooperation of both DCS experts and experts from the individual PANDA subsystems. Therefore, this TDR explains the underlying concepts of the PANDA DCS, illustrates the main software choices and provides several examples from PANDA subsystem for the DCS on the subsystem level. Information on the design of the DCS of a particular subsystem can be found in the corresponding TDR and other publications of this subsystem.

This document describes the technical design and the expected performance of the Endcap Disc DIRC (EDD) for the PANDA experiment. The EDD will provide particle identification for charged hadrons with momenta up to 4 GeV/c in the forward region in the polar angle range of 5° to 22°.
The proposed detector is a new development utilizing special focusing elements and highly segmented MCP-PMTs to allow a very compact design. The relevant components have been tested individually and as a joint system. According to our studies the final EDD will provide π/K separation of more than 3 standard deviations over the specified phase space. This is the final version submitted to ECE in August 2018.

This document is the Technical Design Report covering the Muon System of the PANDA detector consisting of four parts, the Barrel, the End Cap the Muon Filter and the Forward Range System. It describes the design of the full Muon System equipped with Mini Drift Tube detectors with corresponding electronics and their expected performance. The actual realization may be subjected to possible modifications arising during the tendering process and in the final construction.

This document forms part of the PANDA Technical Design Report and covers the cluster-jet and the pellet targets. The former one is already fully developed and will be the day-1 PANDA target for commissioning and medium luminosity experiments. Higher effective target densities can be achieved with a frozen pellet target including a pellet tracking system for vertex reconstruction.
The technical design of the pellet generator will be described in a forthcoming appendix to this document.

This document presents the technical layout
and the expected performance of the For-
ward Tracker (FT), a tracking detector for
the PANDA Forward Spectrometer (FS). The
FT consists of a set of planar tracking sta-
tions measuring deflection of particle trajec-
tories in the magnetic field of the FS dipole
magnet, providing the information about the
particle momenta. The design of the stations
is based on self-supporting straw tube detec-
tors which will be also used in the PANDA
central Straw Tube Tracker (STT) described
in a separate TDR, submitted and accepted
earlier.

This document is a Technical Design Report (TDR) which presents the status of the PANDA Forward Time-of-Flight (FToF) wall design. The FToF wall is a system of large scintillation counters which intends for
detection on event basis of the timestamps particles emitted within acceptance of the PANDA Forward spectrometer. The overall
timing resolution of the system is better than 100 ps. The FToF wall is assumed to be used in PID of forward going hadrons with momenta below 4 GeV by time-of-flight criterion. The Dipole ToF implied to be placed inside the dipole magnet is an extension of the FToF wall requiring more R&D. It will be covered in an addendum to this document.

The revised version from Dec 18, 2017 ready for submission to FAIR ECE was uploaded on Jan 16, 2018.

This document describes the technical layout and the expected performance of the Barrel Time-of-Flight detector (Barrel TOF) for the P̅ANDA target spectrometer. The Barrel TOF detector has been designed to precisely measure the time at which a charged particle transits the detector with a resolution superior to the other sub-detectors. It will signal the topology of physics events in statu nascendi, hence setting cornerstones for event classification. The implementation of the Barrel TOF is based on very fast organic scintillator tiles coupled to Silicon Photomultipliers. Therefore the name scintilla- tor tile hodoscope (SciTil). The document also shows the readiness of SciTil for construction and its integration into the P̅ANDA Target Spectrometer
