One main component of the planned Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at GSI, Darmstadt, which will provide cooled antiprotons with momenta between 1.5 and 15 GeV/c. The PANDA experiment will investigate p-barannihilations with internal hydrogen and nuclear targets. Due to the planned extensive physics program a multipurpose detector with nearly complete solid angle coverage, proper particle identification over a large momentum range, and high resolution calorimetry for neutral particles is required. For the optimization of the detector design simulation studies of several benchmark channels are in progress which are covering the most relevant physics topics. Some important simulation results are discussed here.
