Description

An experiment which aims at a precise measurement of anti pp cross sections at low momenta is presented. Its design and performance are described with emphasis on the particle identification capabilities. A calorimeter-like detector array which serves for the detection of antineutrons is discussed in some detail. Its properties were measured in a test experiment and are compared to Monte Carlo calculations. (orig.)
