Subthreshold antiproton production in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Antiproton production from the secondary process is studied for nucleus-nucleus collisions at energies which are below the threshold for its production from the nucleon-nucleon reaction in the free space. In an expanding fireball model, we determine the abundance from the fusion of pions and find that for collisions at 2.1 GeV/nucleon the antiproton to negative pion ratio is 5.510-7 and has a similar magnitude to that of the data. 1989 The American Physical Society.
