چکیده
Data from KEK on subthreshold ¯ p as well as on π ± and K ± production in proton-nucleus reactions are described at projectile energies between 3.5 and 12.0 GeV. We use a model which considers a hadron-nucleus reaction as an incoherent sum over collisions of the projectile with a varying number of target nucleons. It samples complete events and allows thus for the simultaneous consideration of all particle species measured. The overall reproduction of the data is quite satisfactory. It is shown that the contributions from the interaction of the projectile with groups of several target nucleons are decisive for the description of subthreshold production. Since the collective features of subthreshold production become especially significant far below the threshold, the results are extrapolated down to COSY energies. It is concluded that an ¯ p measurement at ANKE-COSY should be feasible, if the high background of other particles can be efficiently suppressed.

An enhancement of antiprotons produced in p + d reaction in comparison with ones in p + p elementary reaction is investigated. In the neighborhood of subthresh-old energy the enhancement is caused by the difference of available energies for antiproton production. The cross section in p + d reaction, on the other hand, becomes just twice of the one in elementary p + p reaction at the incident en...

We discuss aspects of the statistical hadronization model for the production of mesons with open and hidden charm in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. Emphasis is placed on what can be inferred from the dependence of the yield of charmonia on the number of participants in the collisions.

Data from KEK on subthreshold ¯ p as well as on π ± and K ± production in pC, dC and αC reactions at energies between 3.5 and 12.0 A GeV are described for the first time within a unified approach. We use a model which considers a nuclear reaction as an incoherent sum over collisions of varying numbers of projectile and target nucleons. It samples complete events and thus allows for the simultan...
