A long standing puzzle is the generation of hadron masses from
an order of magnitude lighter quarks. We aim at addressing this
and further fundamental questions concerning the strong
interaction by studying antiproton-proton annihilations in the
charmonium region with the future PANDA detector
(see  PANDA) at the Facility for
Antiproton and Ion Research
(FAIR). PANDA will provide
decisive answers on the debated existence of exotic states and
detailed information on the charmonium spectrum. In addition,
it will provide a tool to study the partonic structure of the
nucleon in a complementary approach to what is found by using
electron or positron scattering (e.g. HERMES or JLab).
As the system manager for the magnets (see
also TB page at PANDA) I
supervised and coordinated the magnet design for the 2 large
magnets of PANDA: the superconducting solenoid with 2m inner
free diameter for detectors, and the 1m gap dipole spectrometer
magnet. As the chair of the editorial board I led the
successful writing of the "Technical Design Report for the PANDA
Solenoid and Dipole Spectrometer Magnets"
(arXiv:0907.0169).
For the current
status and meetings please visit the pages
of PANDA Magnet Group.
During my time at the Uppsala University I developed the
pellet target further in order to make it useful for PANDA. See my Uppsala activities for the details.
