Sumario:My Summer Student project consisted of an activation study for the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) experimental areas. This report summarises my proceedings as well as my results.\nAssuming a kinetic energy of 5.3MeV and a beam intensity of $5\cdot 10^5$ antiprotons per second, FLUKA simulations with different metals directly exposed to the beam have been performed. The radiation fields from the antiproton annihilation as well as the radionuclide production within the metal have been studied. According to the LE classification all material that stands in direct contact with the antiproton beam is potentially radioactive.\nThe radionuclide production in several materials typically present in the experimental area has been investigated as well. For easier operational implementation a classification for material not in direct contact with the beam has been introduced. It distinguishes between immediate free release, free release after 30 years and TFA for material that is either in the vicinity of a loss point or not.
