Experimental area of the CERN Antiproton Decelerator

Abstract

The CERN Antiproton Decelerator will deliver low energy beams to four experimental beam-lines installed within the accelerator circumference. The limited space available imposes tight constraints on the topology of the beam-lines needed by the experimental devices. In this paper, the general layout of the experimental area is reviewed. Furthermore, a discussion of the so-called measurement line for AD beam property measurements is included.

The antinucleon–nucleon interaction at low energy: Annihilation dynamics

“…Slow extraction is not possible without making major modifications to the AD [222,223]. The space for experiments [224] is very limited and the experimental program is solely devoted to the production of trapped antihydrogen and studies of the formation and cascade in light antiprotonic atoms.…”
