Abstract :
The former Antiproton Collector (AC) at CERN has been transformed into an Antiproton Decelerator (AD) to supply high quality antiproton beams with a momentum of 100 MeV/c (kinetic energy of 5.3 MeV). As in AC, antiprotons are injected at 3.57 GeV/c and cooled by stochastic cooling system. To facilitate the deceleration and to prepare a small emittance beam for the experiments, stochastic cooling at 2 GeV/c and electron cooling at 300 MeV/c and 100 MeV/c has been incorporated. The required optics modifications are described and the results of machine commissioning are discussed
