Recycler
The Recycler is an 8 GeV storage ring in the same tunnel as the Main
Injector.
The main lattice elements (dipoles and quadrupoles) are made out of
permanent magnets).
The Recycler can accept 8 GeV antiprotons from
The antiproton accumulator.
The Main Injector (after deceleration).
The Recycler can deliver these antiprotons to the Main Injector for
acceleration.
The goal of the recycler is
To store antiprotons from the accumulator, thereby increasing the total
antiproton production capacity.
To recover antiprotons from a Tevatron store for use in subsequent stores.
At the moment, the recycler is not being used in standard operation.
