Well, I didn't know such a thing existed... yup, that's a particle 
*de*-celerator:

Interesting article. But I was taught that there is no such thing as 
deceleration only negative acceleration.

It's an anti-proton, so it does everything backwards.  When it goes 
faster it's negative deceleration.

But can it go backwards in high heels, like Ginger Rogers?

Accelerate particles into a target. Decelerate the resulting 
antiparticles. Seems legit...
