The specific antiproton- and positron-beam requirements of the CERN AD-7 experiment, GBAR (Gravitational Behavior of Antimatter at Rest) are presented. GBAR will synthesize antihydrogen ions which will be sympathetically cooled before performing a free-fall experiment on the atom. Antiprotons delivered by CERN’s ELENA facility in 100-keV, 300-ns pulses will be electrostatically decelerated and transformed to keV energies using a pulsed drift tube. Positrons are created using a linear electron accelerator and collected into a Penning-Malmberg trap. Descriptions of these ion optical systems are given along with the status.
