PANDA Forward Spectrometer Calorimeter
The PANDA experiment is one of the challenging projects being constructed on new FAIR facility near Darmstadt. It will use the antiproton beam from the High Energy Storage Ring colliding with an internal proton target and a general purpose spectrometer to carry out a rich and diversified hadrons physics program. One of the main PANDA detectors is a calorimeter complex consisting of a central PWO crystal based calorimeter and a forward shashlyk-type sampling calorimeter. The design of the PANDA Forward Spectrometer Calorimeter (FSC) is completed and validated by several test-beam measurements. The FSC prototype performance based on test-beam measurements at Protvino and Mainz will be presented in the report. The construction of the PANDA detector has been started and planned to be completed before 2019. FSC Technical Design Report recently was submitted to FAIR experts committee and construction of the detector is expected to be started in the next year. The detector production-ready status including mass-production techniques developed at IHEP, Protvino is also presented in the report.
