当SPS质子-反质子对撞机的想法确定下来时，人们意识到反质子的大量产生提供了进一步独特的可能性：减速和冷却将提供前所未有的强度和纯度的低能反质子束。有人建议增加一个小型设备，用于能量范围在5至1200MeV的冷却反质子束的实验。这就是后来的低能反质子环，简称LEAR。该项目最初被认为只寄生在SPS对撞机的反质子生产上，但由于其巨大的成功，它的重要性日益增加，甚至比SPS对撞机的寿命还要长。它以反质子减速机（AD）的简化形式延续至今。我们的论文描述了这个企业的加速器方面。
When ideas for the SPS proton–antiproton collider firmed up, it was realized that the abundant production of antiprotons offered a further unique possibility: the deceleration and cooling would provide low-energy antiproton beams of unprecedented intensity and purity. A proposal was made to add a small facility for experiments with cooled antiproton beams in the energy range of 5 to 1200MeV. This was to become the Low-Energy Antiproton Ring, LEAR. Originally thought to only exist parasitically on the antiproton production for the SPS Collider, the project took on an ever-growing importance and, owing to its great successes, has even outlived the SPS Collider. It continues to this day in the simplified form of the Antiproton Decelerator, AD. Our paper describes the accelerator aspects of this venture.
