Abstract

We present here a proposal to make use of the antiproton ion collider AIC of FAIR to breed cold antideuterons using the pionic fusion reactions \(\overline{pp} \to \overline{d}\pi^{-}\). An antideuteron yield of 1.4% per pair of antiprotons is reached. With a luminosity L = 5.2×1028 cm − 2 s − 1 the expected antideuteron production rate is 23 s − 1. Methods for improving the antideuteron yield and production rate are indicated.
