Observation of antiproton annihilation in heavy nuclei at 100 GeV/c

  • 1. Pennsylvania State Univ., University Park, PA 16802

Description

The authors report on the observation of antiproton annihilation in Mg, Ag and Au nuclei at 100 GeV/c. The experiment was performed with the Fermilab 30'' bubble chamber spectrometer and associated Downstream Particle Identifiers. By identifying events without a leading p-bar or n-bar they have determined that (39+-6)% of the antiprotons annihilate in a heavy nucleus. They present this fraction as a function of atomic mass number and discuss the associated charged particle multiplicity
