Description
The development of the Forward Spectator Detector (FSD) of the CBM
experiment represents a crucial step towards the successful realization of the CBM
physics program – understanding of highly compressed nuclear matter at the
FAIR facility currently under construction. FSD is a scintillator-based detector which is positioned at forward rapidity in order to detect spectator nucleons and fragments originating from collisions at the target. The detector is specifically designed to enable accurate reconstruction of the reaction plane and determination of collision centrality at high collision rates (up to 10MHz) provided by the SIS-100 accelerator.
An overview of the design and performance studies conducted for the FSD is
provided. These studies encompass extensive prototyping and pre-series testing of
the detector, employing a combination of simulations and real data tests to assess
the efficacy of various configurations of the detector.
