An antideuteron beam at JHF Original Research Article

The future japanese hadronic machine (JHF) could offer the possibility not only to continue experiments with the antiproton in both the low and high energy ranges but also to start to study the antinuclei physics. In the present paper the production of antinuclei is reviewed and first results of a design for an antideuteron beam line at JHF are reported. Moreover, some particular aspects of the antideuteron physics are discussed together with the basic features of the experimental apparatuses involving an antideuteron beam and the antideuteron annihilation detection.
