Coherent pion radiation from nucleon-antinucleon annihilation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unified picture of nucleon antinucleon annihilation into pions emerges from a classical description of the pion wave produced in annihilation and the subsequent quantization of that wave as a coherent state. When the constraints of energy-momentum and iso-spin conservation are imposed on the coherent state, the pion number distribution and charge ratios are found to be in excellent agreement with experiment.

Coherent state formulation of pion radiation from nucleon-antinucleon annihilation.
We assume that nucleon antinucleon annihilation is a fast process leading to a classical coherent pion pulse. We develop the quantum description of such pion waves based on the method of coherent states. We study the consequences of such a description for averages of charge types and moments of distributions of pion momenta with iso-spin and four-momentum conservation taken into account. We bri...

We use classical/large N c (number of colors) QCD to study nucleon–antinucleon annihilation at rest. We include pion, rho and omega fields in the classical dynamics, starting from the nonlinear sigma model. We begin with a spherical blob of pionic matter with zero baryon number and energy of twice the nucleon mass. This evolves according to the classical dynamics to pion and vector meson fields...
متن کاملIsospin recoupling and Bose-Einstein pion correlations in N-barN annihilations.
We study the effect of isospin projections on a two source picture of coherent pions coming from nucleon-antinucleon annihilation. We show that important Hanbury-Brown Twiss correlations among like charge pion pairs compared with unlike arise from these isospin projections. The Division de Physique Théorique is a Research Unit of the Universities of Paris 11 and 6 associated to CNRS.
متن کاملWhat Have We Learned from Antiproton Proton Scattering?
From recent charge exchange measurements in the extreme forward direction, an independent and precise determination of the pion nucleon coupling constant is possible. This determination has reopened the debate on the value of this fundamental coupling constant of nuclear physics. Precise measurements of charge exchange observables at forward angles below 900 MeV/c would also give a better under...
متن کاملHigher Order Two Step Mechanisms in Nucleon Antinucleon Annihilation and the OZI Rule
We evaluate three meson doorway mechanisms for nucleon-antinucleon annihilation at rest for the first time. Detailed results are presented for the final state φπ 0 originating from the 3 S 1 initial state and for the φρ channel originating from 1 S 0. The results presented also include the improved contributions from two meson doorway states and from the tree diagrams. For all the channels cons...
