ELENA Project: An Overview | |
|
||
Approuved in June 2011, the aim of the Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring (ELENA) is the increase of the number of antiprotons delivered to the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) physics community. ELENA is a small machine and decelerates the antiprotons injected from AD at 5.3 MeV kinetic energy to 100 keV. The ring is equipped with an electron cooler to compensate the adiabatic blow-up to avoid beam losses during deceleration and to reduce beam phase space at extraction. Design work is progressing on machine parameters, ring, transfer lines, vital subsystems and the infrastructure. | ||
