Description

The CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD) has now reached a stable mode of operation, regularly delivering batches of 100 MeV/c antiprotons to the ATRAP, ATHENA and ASACUSA collaborations. Experience during the commissioning and initial physics runs revealed difficulties design goals and maintaining stable performance levels. This paper will deal with the specific difficulties in monitoring and improving beam quality in a slow cycling machine operating with low beam intensities of a few 107 circulating particles.
