Abstract

The FAIR facility for beams of ions and antiprotons at Darmstadt will provide antiproton beams of intensities that are two orders of magnitude higher than currently available. A proposal has been submitted for an additional next‐generation low‐energy antiproton facility called FLAIR which was very positively evaluated in spring of 2005. FLAIR will be able to provide cooled antiproton beams well below 100 keV kinetic energy, which will allow for a much higher rate of trapped antiprotons and therefore greatly advance the currently performed experiments. Furthermore, the availability of continuous beams will make many new experiments possible. This talk gives an overview of the layout and physics program of the proposed facility.
