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 u 10 7 p /min at 100 MeV/c are described. Details of the machine layout and the experimental area in the existing AAC Hall are given.

The large electron positron storage ring (LEP) preinjector will provide the particles to be stored in the LEP. It is composed of a high-intensity linear accelerator (linac) providing 200-MeV electrons for the production of positrons, a low-intensity linac (LIL) for the acceleration of electrons and positrons to 600 MeV (LIL), and an electron positron accumulator (EPA) ring to collect dense bunches of electrons and positrons at 600 MeV (EPA). The LIL rf accelerating cavities and waveguides are typical of severely conductance limited vacuum systems with high rf induced gas loads, in which a low hydrocarbon free residual pressure has to be maintained (5×10−8 mbar). For the EPA ring, subjected to synchrotron radiation induced gas desorption, considerations of beam lifetime require a base pressure in the 10−9 mbar range, achievable without in situ bakeout in the shortest possible time. The design features with particular emphasis on conceptual choices, cleanliness and special treatments, new hardware, low outgassing achievements, as well as cost and initial performances of these vacuum systems are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
