The QCD phase diagram exploration in a region of high baryon chemical potentials is planned to be performed in the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the prospective SIS-300 (FAIR at GSI) accelerator. The main goals of this experimental program are studying nuclear equation of state at high baryon density, the search for signals of first order phase transition from hadronic to partonic matter and the location of the critical point at the phase diagram. The CBM experiment as a next-generation experiment will be equipped with fast and high resolution detectors. The experiment will provide measurements in hadronic and leptonic channels. This paper briefly presents the concept of CBM detector and some physical issues of CBM experiment program. Namely, some signals of deconfinement and experimental observables appropriate as diagnostic probes of quark-gluon plasma are discussed in connection with the CBM experiment.
