Summary Yield (target / horn / separator): 11 cm Ni-target, copy of CERN horn ~ 2 × pbar per primary proton (4 × 10 7 pbar / s) Yield (out of RESR): ~ 1 × pbar per primary proton (2 × 10 7 pbar / s) No significant increase of this number can be expected with another type of collector like a Li-lens. time averaged, less than 1 kW is deposited in the target higher repetition rate should be no problem Radiation protection: no principal problems up to now
