Description
This proposal outlines a two-part experimental campaign aimed at improving our understanding of antiproton-nucleus interactions. In the first part, we propose the measurement of annihilation cross-sections of antiprotons at 100 keV using the ELENA decelerator in mini-bunch mode, using a time-of-flight technique. In the second part, we extend the study to energies of 5.3 MeV and above using antiprotons from the Antiproton Decelerator. The higher energy phase will target both annihilation cross-sections and elastic scattering cross-sections, providing complementary data on nuclear structure and interactions. These experiments will fill gaps in current datasets, offering insights into nuclear physics, particle physics, and cosmology.
