 Antiprotons for the ring were created by the CERN Proton Synchrotron via the Antiproton Collector and the Antiproton Accumulator.The creation of at least 9 atoms of antihydrogen were confirmed by the PS210 experiment in 1995.In 1996, LEAR was converted into the Low Energy Ion Ring, which has since been used in the lead ion injection process for the Large Hadron Collider.
