The CERN separated low-momentum antiproton beam

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The layout of a beam transport system for antiprotons, operating up to a maximum momentum of about 4 GeV/c is described. Electrostatic separators were used for the separation of antiprotons from pions up to about 1 GeV/c. Separation at higher momenta was obtained by means of time-of-flight. Results are given concerning fluxes of pions and antiprotons, and excitation curves for production of antiprotons.

Riassunto

Viene discuaso un fascio di antiprotoni funzionante fino ad un momento massimo di 4 GeV/c. La separazione degli antiprotoni é stata ottenuta con separatori elettrostatici per momento inferiore a 1 GeV/c, con tempo di volo per momenti superiori. Vengono dati dei risultati concernenti il flusso di pioni ed antiprotoni, e delle curve di eccitazione per la produzione degli antiprotoni.
