  The perspectives opened by the development of a low-energy antideuteron beam
are here reviewed: precision measurements of the antideuteron properties;
formation and spectroscopic analysis of antideuteronic atoms and antideuterium;
the pioneering synthesis of heavier anti-elements in particle traps and at low
energies. Some practical aspects of generating a low-energy antideuteron beam
in the existing AD/ELENA facility are discussed.
