Description
The Apparatus for Mesons and Baryon Experimental Research (AMBER) is a high-energy physics project at the CERN’s M2 beam line of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The broad physics program for the upcoming years includes the measurement of the anti-proton production cross-section in pp, pHe and pD collisions, to provide unique information for astrophysics data interpretation, the measurement of the charge-radius of the proton, to contribute to the solution of the puzzle of the discrepancy presently observed in different experimental results, and the Drell-Yan program in the framework of the emergence of hadron mass studies. To succeed with this broad scientific program over the next years an adequate highly flexible spectrometer should be put in place.
We present the general concept of the measurements and the planned upgrades of the spectrometer and target complex in order to meet the challenges of every part of the program.
