Kaiserslautern The CBM experiment at FAIR – exploring the QCD phase diagram at high net-baryon densities – Claudia Höhne for the CBM collaboration – GSI Darmstadt, Germany CBM = Compressed Baryonic Matter FAIR = Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research The physics case • Mapping the QCD phase diagram • What do we know from theory? → Predictions from lattice QCD: • crossover transition from partonic to hadronic matter at small mB and high T, Tc(mB=0) = 151 – 192 MeV [1-3] • critical endpoint in intermediate range of the phase diagram (current estimates mB = 300 – 700 MeV, T ≈ 140 – 160 MeV) [1-3] • first order deconfinement phase transition at high mB but moderate T • What do we know from experiment? → Heavy-ion collisions: • chemical freeze-out curve from final hadron yields measured in the experiments: T ≈ 160 MeV at top RHIC energy [5] • top SPS, RHIC (high T, low mB): indications for relevance of partonic degrees of freedom • lower SPS, AGS (intermediate T-mB range): intriguing observations around 30 AGeV beam energy • Observables • Goal of CBM experiment: comprehensive and systematic (energy, system size) studies of all relevant diagnostic probes including: • hadrons, event-by-event fluctuations, correlations, collective flow • multistrange hyperons • low-mass vector mesons • open charm (D0, D±, Lc) • charmonium (J/y, y') • → CBM@FAIR – high mB, moderate T: • searching for the landmarks of the QCD phase diagram • first order deconfinement phase transition • chiral phase transition • QCD critical endpoint • in A+A collisions from 10-45 AGeV starting in 2015 [W.
