Low energy antiproton possibilities at BNL

Antinuclear physics in the energy range of 0 to 20 GeV has long been a mainstay of the high energy physics program at BNL. The emphasis of the experimental program in the last couple of years has however moved to other areas as new facilities in the world have come on line. The initiatives stimulated by the USAF has caused a renewed interest in the low energy capabilities at BNL, which are still very competitive and considerable for the production of low energy antiprotons. A synopsis is given of the present BNL accelerator plans and the near term possibilities for a high yield antiproton production experiment. This paper does not address the longer term facility possibilities of producing ''large'' amounts of antimatter. Parenthetically, even though several aspects of the program are of little interest for this audience, such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Stretcher, it is important to understand their parameters and impact upon various possible antinucleon initiatives at BNL
