Prototyping a Focussing Lightguide Disc DIRC at WASA for PANDA

  • 1. II. Physikalisches Institut, Universitaet Giessen, Heinrich-Buff-Ring 16, D-35392 Giessen (Germany)

Description

For the future PANDA experiment at the FAIR laboratory particle identification is a crucial capability, and the space constraints favour the use of compact DIRC detectors. For the Endcap area in the PANDA Target Spectrometer a novel Focussing Lightguides Disc DIRC is being investigated. The talk will focus on how a prototype could be placed into the existing WASA experiment at COSY, which would improve the WASA energy resolution for high-energy particles as well as provide proof-of-concept for the PANDA DIRC detector developments.
