Some remarks on Some remarks on (mis)identification: separation of (mis)identification: separation of pions from electronspions from electrons
• Answer the question of the Answer the question of the feasibility of p_bar p feasibility of p_bar p e e++ee--
• Which discrimination power do we Which discrimination power do we need (competition between need (competition between ++-- and and ee++ee--)?)?
• Which tools do we have? Which tools do we have?
• Evaluate the discrimination power Evaluate the discrimination power of PANDA for electrons against of PANDA for electrons against pionspions
