AD—A Laboratory for Low Energy Antiproton Physics

Abstract

The Anti-proton Decelerator AD is embedded in the accelerator complex of CERN, the international scientific organization established for the purpose of collaborative research founded in 1952 as: Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) and operated since 1954 as: European Organization for Nuclear Research (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire). CERN is located near Geneva and hosts the world's largest particle physics laboratory. Besides the main research focus of experiments at the large hadron collider LHC, a variety of other topics are covered, like low energy anti-proton physics.
