Description

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment aims at exploring the QCD phase diagram at large baryon densities in the beam energy range from 2 A GeV to 11 (35) A GeV at the SIS100 (SIS300) accelerator of FAIR/GSI. The CBM detector is designed to measure in a triggerless readout mode both bulk observables with large acceptance and rare diagnostic probes such as charmed particles and vector mesons decaying into lepton pairs with an unprecedented interaction rate of up to 10 MHz. The presentation will describe the concept of the experiment, its overall physics program and highlight observables that are sensitive to the phase structure like collective flow of multi-strange hyperons and the di-lepton mass spectra.
