Antimatter Research at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator: Legacy of Guido Barbiellini Amidei

This work reviews the current research directions pursued by collaborations at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD), with an outlook on future perspectives and challenges in the field. The advancement of precision studies on antimatter builds upon foundational contributions by pioneering researchers, such as Guido Barbiellini Amidei, whose early work on antimatter detection and instrumentation has profoundly influenced the design and methodologies of contemporary experiments at the AD and beyond. This review underscores the lasting impact of these early innovations on ongoing investigations into fundamental symmetries and interactions involving antimatter.
