| Abstract | Antiprotons as a probe to study short-lived isotopes remain unexploited despite past pioneering works with stable nuclei. In particular, low-energy antiprotons offer a very unique sensitivity to the neutron and proton densities at the annihilation site, i.e. in the tail of the nuclear density. Such studies with short-lived nuclei and low-energy antiprotons are the first motivation of the proposed antiProton Unstable Matter Annihilation (PUMA) experiment. Today, no facility provides a collider of low-energy radioactive ions and low-energy antiprotons: PUMA aims at transporting one billion antiprotons from CERN/ELENA to CERN/ISOLDE to perform the capture of low-energy antiprotons by short-lived nuclei, and probe in this way the so-far unexplored isospin composition of the nuclear-radial-density tail of radioactive nuclei. |
