Physics with Ultralow-Energy Antiprotons
نویسنده
چکیده
In this report I will describe the current status of the antiproton decelerator (AD) facility at CERN, and highlight the physics program with ultralow-energy antiproton at this installation. I then will comment on future possibilities provided higher-intensity antiproton beams become available at Fermilab, and review possibilities for initial experiments using direct degrading of high-energy antiprotons in material, as has been developed and proven at CERN.

Radial compression of protons and H3+ ions in a multiring trap for the production of ultralow energy antiproton beams.
Radial compression of a proton cloud was performed in a multiring trap which was designed to trap and cool a large number of antiprotons for the production of low-energy ( 10-1000 eV ) antiproton beams. The resonance frequency for the radial compression was almost constant from 3 x 10(5) to 3 x 10(6) protons. The collision process of the trapped protons was also investigated to estimate the ene...
متن کاملPhysics with Antiprotons: from Antihydrogen to the Top-quark
The talk gives a survey on experiments performed with antiprotons of different energies. The emphasis will be on results obtained at LEAR/CERN, but the exciting investigations with higher energy antiprotons, leading to the discovery of the intermediate bosons W +,W−, Z 0 and the top quark t, will also be discussed.
متن کاملAssessment of the prompt radiation hazards of trapped antiprotons.
Investigators at several laboratories are seriously considering the storage and transport, perhaps over long distances, of very low energy antiprotons as a part of basic physics research programs and perhaps even for practical applications. To do this will require proper attention to the prompt radiation hazards due to the release of energy in the annihilations of antiprotons with nuclei, under...
متن کاملUltraslow p̄-H collisions in hyperspherical coordinates: Hydrogen and protonium channels
The collision of an antiproton and a hydrogen atom at ultralow energies is described in hyperspherical coordinates. An adiabatic approximation leads to potential-energy curves that can be used to describe the dynamics of capture in the p̄ -H(1s) collision. A unified formulation of the collision and capture processes leading to formation of pp̄ bound states emerges. Both Pn(nl)-e ‘‘atomic-type’’ a...
متن کاملReview of Rest Gas Interaction at Very Low Energies Applied to the Extra Low Energy Antiproton Ring Elena
The Extremely Low ENergy Antiproton ring (ELENA) is a small synchrotron equipped with an electron cooler, which shall be constructed at CERN to decelerate antiprotons to energies as low as 100 keV. Scattering of beam particles on rest gas molecules may have a detrimental effect at such low energies and leads to stringent vacuum requirements. Within this contribution scattering of the stored bea...
