HITRAP will deliver5 keV antiprotonsto low-energy experiments

pbar experimental areas: E = 400 MeV to 5 keV

HITRAP: deceleration from 4 MeV to rest, av. intensity: 1x106/s

SIS 100: acceleration of 2.8 1013 protons, E = 29 GeV

Antiproton target: production of 1.0 108 pbars/ 5 s, E = 3 GeV

Collector ring CR: fast stochastic cooling in 5 s, N = 108/cycle

HITRAP at FLAIR:Physics Topics with Antiprotons

• Spectroscopy for tests of CPT and QED– Antiprotonic atoms (pbar-He, pbar-p), antihydrogen

• Gravitation of antimatter– Trapped and laser-cooled antihydrogen

• Atomic collisions– Ionization, energy loss, antimatter-matter collisions

• Antiprotons as hadronic probes– X-rays of light antiprotonic atoms: low-energy QCD

– X-rays of neutron-rich nuclei: nuclear structure (halo)

Summary and Outlook

• FLAIR and SPARC: low-energy antiprotons and radioactive ions will be available at NESR with high intensity.

HITRAP will be a unique facility for highly-charged ions

up to U92+ at very low energies.

Commissioning of HITRAP Facility at the ESR at GSI is under way.

The future plans of SPARC and FLAIR givea long-term perspective for HITRAP.
