Abstract

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt will be a dedicated heavy-ion experiment for the investigation of baryonic matter at highest net-baryon densities. A RICH detector with CO2 as radiator gas is being developed for clean and efficient electron identification which will be necessary for the measurement of some of the key observables of the physics program of CBM. The status of the development of this RICH detector and results on R&D activities concerning self-triggered readout electronics for PMTs, studies on the usage of wavelength-shifting films, as well as the evaluation of glass mirrors from industrial providers will be presented.
