The experiments are, however, very difficult to realize. They critically depend on high-performance numerical tools that can model realistic beam transport and storage and also require advanced beam monitors and detectors that can fully characterize the beam. Finally, novel experiments need to be designed that exploit the enhanced beam quality that the new ELENA ring at CERN provides. This paper presents some selected findings from the pan-European AVA network’s three scientific work packages. It shows results from studies into electron cooling at the new ELENA storage ring, research into carbon nanotubes as cold electron field emitters for electron cooling, and how antiproton-atom collision experiments can be optimized using GEANT4. Finally, the paper gives an overview of the network’s interdisciplinary training program.
