The ELENA ring will decelerate the 5.3 MeV antiprotons from the AD (Antiproton Decelerator) to an energy of just 100 keV with the aim to increase by one or two orders of magnitude the number of usable antiprotons for the physics experiments. An additional experimental area will also allow the extension of the low energy antiproton physics program to new experiments. Beam cooling will be...

*AD: Antiproton Decelerator **ELENA: Extra Low Energy Antiprotons ELENA will lower the energy of AD antiprotons from 5MeV to 100keV, thus increasing by a factor of up to 100 the number of antiprotons usable by the experiments. The AD infrastructures must be adapted to cope with this new machine, new experiments and another 20 years of brilliant prospects. To fit the ELENA ring in the...

for the PAX collaboration. A polarized antiproton beam to be used at FAIR would give access to a completely new research field in the study of the strong interaction utilizing polarization technology as a highly selective tool. One of the main objectives is the unique possibility to access model independent and directly the transversity of the proton through Drell-Yan events generated in...

CRYRING has until recently been operating at the Manne Siegbahn Laboratory (MSL) in Stockholm for in-ring atomic physics experiments. Since its operation was decided to be determined, it has been chosen by the FLAIR collaboration as the central installation of the FLAIR facility, decelerating both highly charged ions and antiprotons for either extraction to experiments or further deceleration...

for the PANDA collaboration. The PANDA experiment will make use of cooled antiproton beams of unprecedented quality that will be available at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, featuring up to 10^11 antiprotons and momentum in the 1.5 ÷ 15 GeV/c range at the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) on whose the PANDA apparatus will occupy one of the straight...

The Ultra-low energy electrostatic Storage Ring (USR) at the future Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) will provide cooled beams of antiprotons in the energy range between 300 keV down to 20 keV. Based on the original design concept developed in 2005, the USR has been completely redesigned over the past few years by the QUASAR Group. The ring structure is now based on...

for the PANDA collaboration. The PANDA experiment at the future FAIR facility investigates antiproton induced collisions on a proton or nuclear target with unprecedented precision and luminosity to study fundamental questions in QCD in the non-perturbative regime with antiproton-beam momenta between 1.5GeV/c and 15GeV/c. The central Straw Tube Tracker (STT) in the 2 Tesla solenoid target...

The PANDA-Experiment at the future FAIR facility in Darmstadt will implement a Micro-Vertex-Detector (MVD) and a large-volume Straw Tube Tracker (STT) around the target interaction region together with a set of GEM disks for the charged particle tracking within a 2 T solenoidal magnetic field. The STT is a gas based detector which is comprised of 4636 cylindrical drift chambers (straw tubes)...
