Abstract
The <(p)over bar p> total annihilation cross section has been measured, with the Obelix apparatus at LEAR, at ten values of the antiproton incident momentum between 43 and 175 MeV/c. The values of the cross section show that the well known 1/p behaviour of the annihilation cross section is drastically modified at very low momenta, which demonstrates the important role of the Coulomb force in low energy <(p)over bar p> interaction. Moreover, they do not present any explicit resonant behaviour. Finally, when compared to potential model calculations, the data suggest that the percentage of P-wave in <(p)over bar p> interaction around 50 MeV/c antiproton incident momentum is less than 5%.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
