Abstract
The physics program of the PANDA experiment at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany requires excellent particle identifications. For this purpose two DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) detectors will provide a clean separation of pions and kaons for momenta up to 4GeV$/ c$. These detectors enable a very compact design as the radiator, where the Cherenkov light is emitted, also serves as a light guide. The forward region of the experiment will be equipped with the Endcap Disc DIRC. It consist of four identical subdetectors and uses special focusing optics and MCP-PMTs with a fine segmentation to provide a separation power for pions and kaons of 3 standard deviations or better. The document at hand summarizes the main characteristics of the technical design as well as recent prototype tests.
