2 Introduction New opportunities at FAIR for the study of antiprotonproton interactions High-energy storage ring HESR: LEAR data can be extended to high energies The Study of spin dependence of pp requires polarized antiprotons Proposal by PAX collaboration to add a dedicated Antiproton Polarizer Ring (APR) to FAIR Design of a low-energy APR in progress: P>30% possible!
