A review of the 2023 antiproton physics run in the CERN antimatter factory
/ Bojtar, Lajos (CERN) ; Lefort, Bertrand (CERN) ; Dupuy, Bruno (CERN) ; Gamba, Davide (CERN) ; Joergensen, Lars (CERN) ; Ponce, Laurette (CERN) ; Freyermuth, Pierre (CERN) ; Pasinelli, Sergio (CERN) ; Dutheil, Yann (CERN)
Despite a shorter-than-scheduled physics run due to a hardware problem, the AD/ELENA antiproton complex delivered record beam intensities to the experiments during the 2023 run. This paper reviews the performance of both the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD) and the Extra Low ENergy Antiproton (ELENA) decelerator and their associated transfer lines. [...]

ELENA - From Commissioning to Operation
/ Ponce, Laurette (CERN) ; Bojtár, Lajos (CERN) ; Carli, Christian (CERN) ; Dupuy, Bruno (CERN) ; Dutheil, Yann (CERN) ; Freyermuth, Pierre (CERN) ; Gamba, Davide (CERN) ; Jørgensen, Lars (CERN) ; Lefort, Bertrand (CERN) ; Pasinelli, Sergio (CERN)
In 2021 the Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring (ELENA) moved from commissioning into the physics production phase providing 100 keV antiprotons to the newly connected experiments paving the way to an improved trapping efficiency by one to two orders of magnitude compared to the AD era. After recalling the major work undertaken during the CERN Long Shutdown 2 (2019-2020) in the antiproton deceleration complex, details will be given on the ELENA ring and the new electrostatic transfer line beam commissioning using an ion source.

Towards the Last Stages of the CERN’s AD-Target Area Consolidation Project and Recommissioning Plans to Resume Operation

Antiprotons are produced at CERN at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) Target Area by impacting 26 GeV/c proton beams onto a fixed target. Further collection, momentum selection, and transport of the secondary particles - including antiprotons - towards the AD ring is realised by a 400 kA pulsed magnetic horn and a set of magnetic dipoles and quadrupoles. [...]

ELENA Commissioning and Status
/ Carli, Christian (CERN) ; Angoletta, Maria Elena (CERN) ; Bartmann, Wolfgang (CERN) ; Bojtár, Lajos (CERN) ; Butin, Francois (CERN) ; Dupuy, Bruno (CERN) ; Dutheil, Yann (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew (CERN) ; Freyermuth, Pierre (CERN) ; Gamba, Davide (CERN) et al.
The Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring ELENA is a small synchrotron recently constructed and commissioned to decelerate antiprotons injected from the Antiproton Decelerator AD with a kinetic energy of 5.3 MeV down to 100 keV. Controlled deceleration in the synchrotron, equipped with an electron cooler to reduce losses and generate dense bunches, allows the experiments, typically capturing the antiprotons in traps and manipulating them further, to improve the trapping efficiency by one to two orders of magnitude.

Operational experience with the ELENA ion source
/ Gamba, Davide (CERN) ; Aguglia, Davide (CERN) ; Lefort, Bertrand (CERN) ; Machado, Christophe (CERN) ; Wenander, Fredrik (CERN) ; Gebel, Ralf (Julich, Forschungszentrum)
The Extremely Low ENergy Antiproton (ELENA) is a compact ring that was recently installed to complement the antimatter factory at CERN. A local H$^{−}$/p source is connected to ELENA for commissioning purposes of the ring and subsequent electrostatic transfer lines toward experiments, allowing to progress with the commissioning phase also in the absence of antiprotons.

ELENA (Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring) is an upgrade project at the CERN AD (Antiproton Decelerator). The smaller ELENA ring will further decelerate 5.3 MeV antiprotons from the AD ring down to 100 keV using electron cooling to obtain good deceleration efficiency and dense beams. [...]
