HESR design driven by the requirements of PANDA:

• Antiprotons with 1.5 GeV/c ≤ p ≤ 15 GeV/c• High luminosity: 2·1032 cm-2s-1

- Thick targets: 4·1015 cm-2

• High momentum resolution: Δp/p ≤ 4·10-5

- Phase space cooling

• Long beam life time: >30 min

Criteria for the Layout of the HESR

Summary

Contribution to ELENA

IKP at the research center Juelich has a long

standing tradtion of significant contributions to the facility and physics program at the CERN-AD.

We fully support constructing the ELENA ring to increase the phase space density of the cooled antiprotons.

Rudolf Maier 10

Contribution to ELENA

In the application phase of ELENA we have agreed to contribute the equivalent of 3 person-years to the construction efforts, and now that ELENA has been approved, we remain dedicated to this pledge.

Currently our electronic and mechanical workshops are fully booked, however we are happy to discuss workpackages that match the time schedules, as well as other contributions that require other resources.
