Abstract

A simplified scheme for the provision of antiprotons at 100 MeV/c based on fast extraction is described. The scheme uses the existing p¯ production target area and the modified Antiproton Collector Ring in their current location. The physics programme is largely based on capturing and storing antiprotons in Penning traps for the production and spectroscopy of antihydrogen. The machine modifications necessary to deliver batches of 1×10⁷ p¯/min at 100 MeV/c are described. Details of the machine layout and the experimental area in the existing AAC Hall are given
