The idea of using the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) as a particle decelerator is a straightforward one. This idea originated about a year or so ago in connection with the antiproton ring LEAR (CERN, Geneva). The complications began when one tries to satisfy the requirements put forward by the experimenters. In this paper, several decelerating schemes have been proposed, each one satisfying some specific demands. In particular, the conservation of beam quality in all the phase planes and the need for energy variability required additional elements in the deceleration system.
