Exploring Symmetry Violations: Insights from the Low-Energy Antiproton Programme

The Low-Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR), operational from 1982 to 1996, played a crucial role in particle physics by decelerating and storing antiprotons, delivering approximately 10^6 anti-protons per second onto fixed targets. Key experiments during the period from 1990 to 1996 focused on testing discrete symmetries in the neutral Kaon system. Notably, the measured rates of K0 and anti-K0 decays as a function of time revealed significant symmetry violations between particles and antiparticles, contributing to our understanding of fundamental physics.

  1. 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─
