I. General 1. The Science Mission of CBM The
goal of the CBM Collaboration is to built a
dedicated heavy-ion detector to investigate the
properties of highly compressed baryonic matter
as it is produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions
at the future accelerator facility in Darmstadt.
The present design of the detector is described
in the Letter of Intent. The primary mission of
CBM is to study key questions of QCD in the
region of moderate temperature and very high
baryonic densities confinement chiral

Institutions Members 7. Plenary Meetings
The full collaboration has 3-4 days meetings (CBM
meetings) at least 2 times a year. The general
forum, the CBM Plenary Meetings, assembles at
these occasions. Plenary Meetings are open to
all Members of the Collaboration. All major
issues concerning the physics aims of CBM, the
design of CBM detectors and other important
matters are presented to the Plenary
Meetings prior any decision in the Collaboration
Board.

III. Management Structures 1. Management
Board Role The CBM Management Board (MB)
supervises the progress of the experiment, along
the lines defined by the CB and prepares
decisions for and makes recomandations to the
CB Membership The CB Chairperson in
consultation with the Collaboration and
Spokesperson nominates members of the MB which
are then elected by the CB Ex officio
Members of the MB are the Spokesperson and
Deputy, the Coordinators, the CB Chairperson
and Deputy 2. Technical Board 3. Resources

Spokesperson is responsible to the CB for the
execution of the CBM project He/She takes
all necessary decisions in close consultation
with MB and CB He/She represents the CBM
Collaboration to the Darmstadt Future Facility
Committee, to its management
and to the outside world 3. Coordinators
