In this document, the production of Xibar+Xi- pairs is simulated in the pbarp -> Xibar+Xi- reaction channel at beam momenta of p_beam=7.0 GeV/c and p_beam=4.6 GeV/c. The first beam momentum is chosen at the energy corresponding to the formation of the X(3872), where a large data taking campaign is foreseen when PANDA is operational. The second beam momentum is chosen around 100 MeV/c2 above the production threshold of Xibar(1820)+Xi- + c.c. The feasibility to measure polarisations and spin correlations in the reaction channel is studied for the sequential process Xi- -> Lambda pi-, Lambda -> p pi- + c.c.
