Abstract :
The PANDA (antiProton ANnihilation in Darmstadt) experiment at the new Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will study interactions between protons and antiprotons in the momentum range 1.5-15 GeV/c. The physics program is very demanding and requires an efficient and flexible triggering system that can handle a data rate in the range 40 to 200 GB / s due to an interaction rate of over 10 MHz.
