Andronic Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt, Germany ¨ for the CBM Collaboration Available online 22 March 2006 Abstract We introduce the TRD of the CBM experiment at the planned FAIR facility of GSI. A study on the optimization of the detector parameters in what concerns the electron/pion identification performance is presented. Results on tracking performance as well as on rate capability are shown. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The CBM experiment at FAIR approached as well, with characteristic imprints on physics observables (event-by-event fluctuations). The planned accelerator facility at GSI [1], FAIR The CBM (Compressed Baryonic Matter) experiment [1] (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) will provide at FAIR will address these issues based on precision, large high intensity beams of protons and antiprotons, nuclei up acceptance and high-statistics measurements of ‘‘common’’ to uranium as well as radioactive beams. hadrons (p, K, p ) a
