– Magnetic ring

– Emin = 300 keV

• USR:

– Electrostatic ring

– Emin = 20 keV

• Atomic phys. cave:

– ions

• HITRAP:

– Pbar and ions

– extracted at 5 keV

– Antiprotonic atoms (pbar-He, pbar-p), antihydrogen

• Gravitation of antimatter

– Trapped and laser-cooled antihydrogen

• Atomic collisions

– Ionization, energy loss, antimatter-matter collisions

• Antiprotons as hadronic probes

– X-rays of light antiprotonic atoms: low-energy QCD

– X-rays of neutron-rich nuclei: nuclear structure (halo)

– Antineutron interaction

– Strangeness –2 production

• Medical applications: tumor therapy
