AbstractAbstract
[en] The charge conjugation symmetry of the reaction anti pp- → π/sup +-/ + X was checked at radical s = 5.4 GeV. The measurement was made with a double arm spectrometer, with each arm triggered independently. Each spectrometer arm had an acceptance of 15 millisteradians and subtended an angular range of 16 to 200 in the lab, 77 to 910 in the pion center of mass system (CMS). The asymmetry (N+ - N-)/(N+ + N-) was determined at 900 CMS over a P/sub t/ range of .5 to 2.7 GeV/c. Corrections were made for target empty, for pions in the incident beam, and for particle misidentification in the spectrometer. The resulting symmetry was .0084 +- .0090; consistent with zero. The asymmetry introduced by differential pion absorption in the spectrometer was estimated to be .0021. In the P/sub t/ regions of .48 to .67 to 1.00 and 1.00 to 2.7 GeV/c, the asymmetries were .0037 +- .0115, .0178 +- .0145, and -.0025 +- .0311, respectively. The corresponding limits on the amplitude ratio V = Re (C-nonconserving amplitude)/(C-conserving amplitude) are one half of the asymmetry limits
