Description

The main features of the low-momentum separated antiproton beam built at the CERN Proton Synchrotron to allow the stopping of a large number of antiprotons are described. An effective stopping rate of 1000 antiprotons per 1012 protons on the PS internal target is obtained. Results of the measurement of the rate of reaction anti pp→h+h- in a 50 cm long liquid hydrogen target are given to illustrate the stopping and monitoring techniques. (Auth.)
