Abstract
This report reviews the achievements of the Crystal Barrel experiment at the Low-Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. During seven years of operation Crystal Barrel has collected very large statistical samples in annihilation, especially at rest and with emphasis on final states with high neutral multiplicity. The measured rates for annihilation into various two-body channels and for electromagnetic processes have been used to test simple models for the annihilation mechanism based on the internal quark structure of hadrons. The production of mesons is larger than predicted in several annihilation channels. Important contributions to the spectroscopy of light mesons have been made. The exotic meson with quantum numbers has been observed in its decay mode. Two isoscalar mesons and and the isoscalar meson have been observed in the decay channel. From three-body annihilations three mesons, and have been established in various decay modes. One of them, may be identified with the expected ground-state scalar glueball.
