Total and partial p-bard cross sections from 0. 26 to 0. 47 GeV/c

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
The p-bard total cross section is approx.10% larger than the A+B/P extrapolated cross section seen at higher (approx.0.5--2.0 GeV/c) momenta. The excess is mainly due to the nonannihilation part of the total cross section. The p-barp annihilation cross sections in H/sub 2/ and D/sub 2/ are the same. These observations are consistent with known properties of the N-barN(1897). A 3sigma dip is present at approx.0.43 GeV/c mainly due to pp-bar annihilation. This dip cannot be understood in terms of a single resonance at N-barN(1897) and the S(1935). Our cross sections are approx.10--20 % higher than the recent measurements of Hamilton et al.
