CERN finds external funding for new antimatter project
Geneva, 10 March 1997. CERN1 will build a new experimental facility, the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) by transforming an existing CERN machine the “Antiproton Collector”, which produces and stores antiprotons into a “all-in-one” machine which can, in addition, decelerate, cool, and eject antiprotons at low energies (5.8 MeV). The transformation will cost about 7 million Swiss

First atoms of antimatter produced at CERN
Geneva, 4 January 1996. In September 1995, Prof. Walter Oelert and an international team from Jülich IKP-KFA, Erlangen-Nuernberg University, GSI Darmstadt and Genoa University succeeded for the first time in synthesising atoms of antimatter from their constituent antiparticles. Nine of these atoms were produced in collisions between antiprotons and xenon atoms over a period of
