Outline 1. History antiparticles production of antiparticles in accelerator 2. Low Energy Antiproton Ring experiment 3.Future p-pbar PANDA experiment
The history of antimatter begins in 1928 with a young physicist named Paul Dirac and a strange mathematical equation… Since 1930: search for the possible constituents of antimatter In 1932, first antimatter or antiparticles were discovered by Carl D.Anderson: the Positron
In the early 1980s, Simon van der Meer at CERN invented a technique that now made it possible to accumulate, concentrate and control antiproton beams. And in 1982 the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) appeared: it could decelerate the antiprotons coming from the proton synchrotron to different intermediate energies, down to a few MeV.
Motivation of LEAR experiments: study antiproton – proton scattering search for meson resonances glueballs, hybrids. For LEAR operation a pulses of antiprotons with the 0.6 GeV/c momentum has been used Physics programme
