RE-TDR-2017-001

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.
