0 D ec 1 99 9 Coulomb corrections to low energy antiproton annihilation cross sections on protons and nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate, in a systematic way, the enhancement effect on p̄p and p̄A annihilation cross sections at low energy due to the initial state electrostatic interaction between the projectile and the target nucleus. This calculation is aimed at future comparisons between n̄ and p̄ annihilation rates on different targets, for the extraction of pure isospin channels.

0 Unified optical - model approach to low - energy antiproton annihilation on nuclei and to antiprotonic atoms
A successful unified description of ¯ p nuclear interactions near E = 0 is achieved using a ¯ p optical potential within a folding model, V opt ∼ ¯ v * ρ, where a ¯ pp potential ¯ v is folded with the nuclear density ρ. The potential ¯ v fits very well the measured ¯ pp annihilation cross sections at low energies (p L < 200 MeV/c) and the 1s and 2p spin-averaged level shifts and widths for the ...
متن کاملSaturation of low - energy antiproton annihilation on nuclei
Recent measurements of very low-energy (p L < 100 MeV/c) ¯ p annihilation on light nuclei reveal apparent suppression of annihilation upon increasing the atomic charge Z and mass number A. Using ¯ p-nucleus optical potentials V opt , fitted to ¯ p-atom energy-shifts and-widths, we resolve this suppression as due to the strong effective repulsion produced by the very absorptive V opt. The low-en...

The recent experimental data obtained by the OBELIX group on p̄D and p̄He total annihilation cross sections are analyzed. The combined analysis of these data with existing antiprotonic atom data allows, for the first time, the imaginary parts of the S-wave scattering lengths for the two nuclei to be extracted. The obtained values are: Im a 0 = [−0.62±0.02(stat)±0.04(sys)] fm for p̄D and Im a 0 = [...
