摘要：The physics program of the future FAIR facility covers a wide range of topics that address central
issues of strong interactions and QCD. The antiproton beam of unprecedented quality in the
momentum range from 1 GeV/c to 15 GeV/c will allow to make high precision, high statistics
measurements, from charmonium spectroscopy to the search for exotic hadrons and the study of
nucleon structure, from the study of in-medium modifications of hadron masses to the physics of
hypernuclei.
In addition to that the possibility to polarize antiprotons will provide access to a wealth of singleand
double-spin observables, opening up the possibility to perform new, unique measurements,
like the transversity distribution of the valence quarks in the proton, new measurements of singlespin
asymmetries and the first determination of the relative phase of the electric and magnetic
form factors of the proton in the time-like region.
In this paper we will discuss the experimental program of the PANDA and PAX experiments,
which will address these fundamental issues at FAIR.
