AntiMatter Physics at Low Energy (AMPLE)
The First Workshop on Antimatter Physics at Low Energy was held at FNAL last spring, April 10-12, 1986, with the stated purpose of gauging the interest in the physics that would be made possible by adding a variable energy pbar storage and cooling ring to the existing Accumulator at FNAL. The Workshop Proceedings are now published and include a concise collection of papers addressing the physics with pbars below 10 GeV/c that could be made available from the present antiproton source at FNAL. It is worth emphasizing that this is a possible without major impact on the primary mission of the laboratory. Such a facility would include provisions for extracted cooled pbar beams as well as future internal targer and colliding beam experiments. Specific experimental proposals would be facilitated by the existence of a reference design for such a facility. A central effort to produce such a reference design would be the logical next step. they are requesting the opportunity to present to this committee an overview of the physics arguments for such a facility; what we would require from the committee is 'strong encouragement' to proceed with such a reference design leading to a formal proposal. The aid of the FNAL staff in drawing up this reference design would be essential. One or more formal proposals for specific physics experiments would be forthcoming.
