Abstract
Fermilab operates the worldʹs most intense source of antiprotons. Recently various experiments have been proposed that can use those antiprotons either parasitically during Tevatron Collider running or after the Tevatron Collider finishes in about 2010. We discuss the physics goals and prospects of the proposed experiments. Fermilab operates the worldʹs most intense antiproton source. Newly proposed experiments can use those antiprotons either parasitically during Tevatron Collider running or after the Tevatron Collider finishes in about 2011. For example, the annihilation of 8 GeV antiprotons might make the worldʹs most intense source of tagged image mesons, and thus the best near-term opportunity to study charm mixing and, via CP violation, to search for new physics. Other potential measurements include sensitive studies of hyperons and of the mysterious X, Y, and Z states. Production of antihydrogen in flight can be used for first searches for antihydrogen CPT violation. With antiproton deceleration to low energy, an experiment using a Penning trap and an atom interferometer could make the worldʹs first measurement of the gravitational force on antimatter.
