Studies of Hadron Structure and Interactions with the $\overline{{\bf P}}$ANDA Experiment at FAIR

TL;DR

The $ar{P}$ANDA experiment at FAIR aims to explore hadron structure and interactions using antiproton beams, providing new insights into charm and multi-strange hadron physics with high precision data.

Contribution

This paper discusses the capabilities of the $ar{P}$ANDA experiment to advance understanding of hadron physics, especially in the charm and multi-strange sectors, with recent data context.

Findings

Potential to clarify the nature of hidden charm states

Enhanced understanding of multi-strange hadron interactions

Complementary data to existing experiments

Abstract

The $\overline{\mbox{P}}$ANDA experiment together with the high quality antiproton beam at HESR will be a powerful tool to address fundamental questions of hadron physics in the charm and multi-strange hadron sector. In connection with the recent data in the hidden charm sector, $\overline{\mbox{P}}$ANDA will be able to deliver decisive contributions to this field, due to the complementarity of the $\overline{p} p$ entrance channel and the capabilities of the combined storage ring and detector system under construction.
