Abstract
The CBM experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) aims to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities using nucleus-nucleus collisions ( = 2.9 - 4.9 GeV). CBM will be utilizing peak interaction rates of up to 10 MHz and an advanced triggerless data acquisition scheme to provide it with an unique access to rare physics probes required to accomplish CBM's physics goals. This contribution will summarise CBM's progress in terms of its physics performance simulations and the status of the comprising detector sub-systems, including their involvement in FAIR Phase-0 activities.
