Abstract:
A study of \(\bar np\) annihilations with \(\bar n\) momentum between 0.5 and 0.8 GeV/c is presented. The search fors-channel resonances in \(\bar np\) annihilations reveal possibly two narrow structures in the odd pions final state. Inclusiveρ0 andf0 cross sections in \(\bar np\) annihilations have been estimated to be 9.0±0.6 mb and 3.4±0.6 mb respectively. Longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions for inclusiveρ0 production have been presented. A study of resonance production in exclusive final state revealsρ0 production to be dominant in the odd pion final states andρ+,ω0 productions are most important for the even pion final states. Theπ+π? effective mass spectra in the backward and the forward directions in the \(\bar np\) c.m. system have been examined for a possible ?-ω interference effect.
