The electrons and antiprotons travel side by side in one of the
straight sections of the Recycler. The electrons absorb energy
from the antiprotons shrinking the size and spread of the
antiprotons and, just like a cooled gas, the antiprotons becomes
denser. This allows the Recycler to store more antiprotons and
then, when transferred, increases the luminosity in the
Tevatron. |last modified 9/9/2004 email Fermilab| |Security,
