Abstract
"Rare" annihilation channels for antiprotons stopping on heavy (Ag, Br) nuclei of photoemulsion, have been sought; 4872 stops of antiprotons on photoemulsion nuclei are analysed. Events of formation and decay of the hyperfragment H-4(Lambda), escape of He-8 and Li-8 nuclei, one-prong stars with the mean range 79.5 +/- 5.1 mum of secondary slow "b" particles are found among the annihilation stars at (p) over tilde capture on nuclei (Ag, Br). The lower limits for the production probability H-4(Lambda) and He-8, Li-8 nuclei per antiproton stopping in the nuclei (Ag, Br) are W-Lambda(H)4 greater than or equal to 2 x 10(-4) and W-8He,W-8Li = (1.3 +/- 0.6) x 10(-3).(.) The branching ratio for the production of one-prong stars with the secondary "b" particles is at least (1.3 +/- 0.6) x 10(-3). Possible mechanisms for a production of these events in annihilation processes are considered.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
