Contribution
It provides an overview of the charmonium physics goals and experimental approach of the PANDA project at FAIR.
Findings
Design of precision measurements for charmonium states
Expected insights into quark confinement mechanisms
Potential to clarify hadron mass origins
Abstract
One component of the future international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research - FAIR is directed towards studies of hadronic matter at the sub-nuclear level with beams of antiprotons. These studies focus on two key aspects: confinement of quarks and the generation of the hadron masses. These goals will be pursued by performing precision measurements of charged and neutral decay products from antiproton-proton annihilation in the charmonium mass region. In this report an overview of the charmonium issues relevant to PANDA will be presented.
