The CERN Antiproton Decelerator AD: Performance, Developments and Future Possibilities

  • 1. AB Department, CERN, Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

During the first 5 years of running for physics, the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD) has delivered antiprotons at 100 MeV/c to the ATRAP, ATHENA and ASACUSA collaborations and at 300 MeV/c to the ACE experiment. A rundown of the improvements in cycle duration, beam intensity and density over this period will be given. Limiting factors for improved performance will be discussed as well as planned and possible future improvements. Details and layout of a proposed new ring for further deceleration, ELENA, with the purpose of increasing beam density and trapping efficiency at the experiments are presented
