摘要:PANDA is a fixed target experiment with antiproton beam up to 15 GeV/c, that will take place at the future FAIR facility. The PANDA experiment will allow the study of different physics topics, from hadron structure and quark-gluon dynamics to nuclear physics. The Micro-Vertex Detector (MVD) is the detector closest to the interaction point, and it is equipped with pixel and strip detectors. The MVD is designed to reconstruct the secondary vertices of the involved charmed mesons, featuring good spatial resolution, limited material budget, radiation hardness, and PID capability. The peculiar requirement to work in a triggerless environment asks for the capability to handle very high data rates. The hybrid pixel R&D program is in its final stage. Its design is based on thin epitaxial sensors and readout chip developed in 130nm CMOS technology. Here the latest pixel detector R&D achievements are presented.
