Abstract
The PANDA experiment will use cooled antiproton beams with high intensity stored1 in the High Energy Storage Ring at FAIR. Reactions on a fixed target producing charmed hadrons will shed light on the strong QCD. Three ring imaging Cherenkov counters are used for charged particle identification. The status of the Barrel DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) is described. Its design is robust and its performance validated in experiments with test beams. The PANDA Barrel DIRC has entered the construction phase and will be installed in 2023/2024.
