Abstract

During the Fermilab fixed target program, the Antiproton Accumulator is available for internal experiments. We have investigated the possibility of using this machine as a p¯p collider in the energy range of 8.9 to 2.2 GeV. This would require upgrades to the current RF systems, the addition of stochastic cooling systems for the protons, and the installation of electrostatic separators. We calculate luminosities in the range of 10²⁸ cm^-2 sec^-1 at a single interaction region with beam intensities of 4×10¹¹ and a beam-beam tune shift of 0.0015
