Abstract
At the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Darmstadt (FAIR) a dedicated heavy-ion experiment investigating the properties of highly Compressed Baryonic Matter is proposed (CBM). A key observable of the physics program will be a precise measurement of low-mass vector mesons in their leptonic decay channel. The essential experimental tool for identifying the decay electrons will be a gaseous RICH detector. The concept of this RICH detector will be introduced and discussed.
