Publication abstract: 

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.
