Understanding the properties of strong interaction matter under extreme conditions of temperature and baryon density is a central objective of modern nuclear physics. While the phase structure of QCD at vanishing baryo-chemical potential is constrained by lattice QCD calculations and ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments at CERN and RHIC, its behaviour at higher net-baryon densities serves as an increasingly active area of experimental and theoretical study.

This beam time application submitted in June 2022 is a continuation request by the CBM Collaboration to the General Program Advisory Committee (G-PAC) of GSI/FAIR, following the proposals which were granted in 2017 [4] and 2020 [5] within the FAIR phase-0 program of GSI / FAIR. The primary aim of mCBM@SIS18 (short “mCBM”) is to commission and optimize the complex interplay of the different detector systems with the triggerless-streaming data acquisition and the fast online event reconstruction and selection under realistic experiment conditions up to the top CBM interaction rate of 10 MHz.
