Low-Energy Antiproton Programme @ PS • The Low Energy Antiproton Ring decelerated and stored antiprotons. It was built in 1982 and operated until 1996. LEAR was able to deliver ~106 anti-protons per second onto fix targets. • 1990 - 1996 • Test of discrete symmetries in the neutral Kaon system • Measured rates for K0 and anti-K0 as function of decay time show a clear sign of symmetry violation between particles and antiparticles LEAR Experiments The experiments at the Low Energy Accelerator Ring (LEAR) CPLEAR Asterix Crystal Barrel K0 → π+π─ K0 → π+π─
