Separable model for the antinucleon-nucleon elastic and annihilation interaction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
In the framework of a coupled-channel approach we construct a separable potential model for the low- and medium-energy antinucleon-nucleon interaction. The elastic part is derived from the meson-exchange Paris potential and represented in an on-shell and off-shell equivalent separable form. In analogy to microscopic theories the annihilation interaction is also described by a separable potential but with phenomenological form factors. Coulomb corrections to the hadronic interaction are taken into account rigorously. We present results for total, elastic, and charge-exchange cross sections and compare them to existing experimental data at low and medium energies. A first application of the model to the calculation of hadronic level shifts in antiprotonic hydrogen is reported.
