Abstract :
An antiproton accumulation and deceleration ring in the KEK proton synchrotron (KEK PS) complex has been designed. The KEK PS top energy is 12 GeV and it is enough to produce 2 GeV/c antiprotons. As many as 10 5 of them would be collected each synchrotron cycle, that is 2 second. After stacking and stochastic cooling of the beams, 107 to 108 antiprotons per hour should be available for physics experiments. There are several R&D items such as compression of the nine bunch train in the PS. Preliminary simulation has been done to look at single turn transfer of antiprotons to the proposed ring whose circumference is 1/3 of the PS
