Abstract
Current antiproton physics as carried out at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) of CERN is focussed on precision spectroscopy of antiprotonic atoms and antihydrogen for tests of CPT symmetry and QED. For efficient stopping of antiprotons, the energy of the AD is however still too high. A new facility called FLAIR (Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research) has recently been proposed that includes cooled beams of antiprotons at energies below 100 keV. This 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.
