Status of the antiproton decelerator: AD

A simplified scheme for the provision of antiprotons at 100 MeV/c in fast extraction is described. The scheme uses the existing p production target area and the modified Antiproton Collector Ring in their current location. Some modifications necessary to deliver batches of 1 × 10 7 antiprotons every minute at 100 MeV/c are described, details of the machine layout and the experimental area in the existing AAC Hall are given.
