Description
The $\bar{\text P}$ANDA experiment at FAIR will perform high precision hardron physics experiments in the strange and charm quark sector using cooled beams of antiprotons at high luminosity with 1.5 GeV/c to 15 GeV/c momentum.
For the identification of low momentum charged particles with extreme accuracy the barrel time-of-flight (TOF) detector is one of the key components of $\bar{\text P}$ANDA. The barrel detector has ~1 m diameter, covering 22-140 degree lab angle. A single counter intrinsic time resolution of ~60 ps has been reached.
In this talk I will present optimization of operational conditions and time resolution.
