ResumoAbstract The recent development of cooling techniques offers the possibility to obtain intense sources of antiprotons, stacking them as they are produced at a multi-GeV accelerator. The wide array of applications presently considered ranging from reactions at extremely low energy in the case of pp atoms, to reactions at hundreds of GeV in the case of head on collisions between protons and antiprotons accelerated at the same time in a super synchrotron, is reviewed. Special emphasis is put on the present CERN program, which will reach the data taking stage in 1981, The study of pp interactions is meant as an illustration of how new possibilities open new directions in Elementary Particle Physics, whether reaching energies hitherto much beyond accelerator possibilities, or developing new lower energy beams improving tremendously over those presently available.
