The compressed baryonic matter (CBM) is intended for studying high-energy nuclear-nuclear collisions in the FAIR international heavy-ion facility. The objective of the experiment is to study the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics at high baryonic density and at moderate temperature. The experimental problem is to identify hadrons and leptons and to record rare processes occurring in ion collisions under conditions with very high multiplicity of charged and neutral particles. More than 50 scientific centers are participating in the experiment. About 150 Russian physicists are participating in the work on almost all subsystems of the experiment.
