Simon van der Meer in the Antiproton Accumulator Control Room, 1984. From the beginning of the project, the potential of physics with low-energy antiprotons was recognized. A Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) was built and received antiprotons from the AA from 1983 on, for deceleration to as low as 100 MeV/c. [8] The first artificially created antimatter, in the form of anti-Hydrogen, was ...
The Underground Area 2 (UA2) experiment was a high-energy physics experiment at the Proton-Antiproton Collider (Sp p S) — a modification of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) — at CERN. The experiment ran from 1981 until 1990, [ 1 ] and its main objective was to discover the W and Z bosons .
The PS complex was also remodeled when the AA area was replaced by the Antiproton Decelerator and its experimental area. By increasing the energy of the PSB and the Linac 2, the PS achieved record intensities in 2000 and 2001. During the whole of 2005 PS was shut down: radiation damage had caused aging of the main magnets.
After the Antiproton Accumulator (AA) had been operational since 1980, the update program ACOL (Antiproton COLlector) was proposed in 1983. [1] The update comprised improvement work on the antiproton source, the construction of the Antiproton Collector (AC), as well as reconstructions of the injection and ejection systems of the Antiproton Accumulator (AA) and its stochastic cooling system.
Furthermore, matter-antimatter symmetry was investigated by studying specific proton-antiproton interactions, resulting in detailed measurements of CP violation. [12] The mass difference between the proton and antiproton was also studied at LEAR with an accuracy in 1 part in 10 10 .

The Super Proton–Antiproton Synchrotron (or Sp p S, also known as the Proton–Antiproton Collider) was a particle accelerator that operated at CERN from 1981 to 1991. To operate as a proton - antiproton collider the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) underwent substantial modifications, altering it from a one beam synchrotron to a two-beam collider.
In a new court filing, federal prosecutors allege the suspect who took a hostage and got into a shootout with Yellowstone National Park rangers in July ranted that he "refuse[s] to fraternize with ...
