The transverse phase space population has been predicted by tracking antiprotons, created in the production target, through the transport line into the Accumulator. The predicted ...
To produce large amounts of antiprotons, on the order of several grams/year, use of machines to produce nuclear collisions are studied. These can be of either proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus in nature. To achieve high luminosity colliding beams, on the order of 10/sup 41/ m/cm/sup 2/, a self-colliding machine is required, rather than a conventional circular ...
Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of a substance into a variety of by-products, usually in the absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis experiments comparing the behavior of AA2 with the behavior of individual constituents of AA2 provide an excellent example of ...

... The apparatus includes an antiproton capture trap designed to trap and to cool antiprotons coming from the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD). ...
We have measured the yields of antiprotons in Au+Au interactions in the rapidity range 1.2{lt}{ital y}{lt}2.8 as a function of centrality using a beam line spectrometer. The shapes of the invariant multiplicity distributions at {ital p}{sub {ital t}}=0 are used to explore the dynamics of antiproton production and annihilation. ...
Antiproton production cross sections have been measured in minimum bias [ital p]+Be, [ital p]+Al, [ital p]+Cu, and [ital p]+Au collisions at 14.6 GeV/[ital c] with the E-802 spectrometer at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The antiproton multiplicity at laboratory rapidities 1.0 to 1.6 shows almost no dependence upon ...
We present antiproton production in 11.7 AGeV/c Au+Au collisions measured in a wide transverse-mass coverage from the AGS-E866 experiment. We show indications for strong absorption effects of antiprotons in Au+Au collisions through comparison with p+A and Si+A collisions, and centrality dependence in Au+Au collisions.
Antiproton production in 11.7A GeV/c Au+Au collisions over a wide transverse-mass coverage was studied using the AGS-E866 experimental apparatus. The mean transverse kinetic energy increases as a function of centrality and is similar to that of protons. The antiproton yields in Si+Al , Si+Au , and Au+Au collisions are consistent with ...
The results from the PS185 experiment on antihyperon-hyperon production in antiproton-proton collisions at the CERN antiproton facility LEAR are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the p-barp {yields} {lambda}-bar{lambda} channel for which there are high precision data. The use of a transversely polarised target in the PS185/3 experiment ...
The results from the PS185 experiment on antihyperon-hyperon production in antiproton-proton collisions at the CERN antiproton facility LEAR are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the pp --> ?? channel for which there are high precision data. The use of a transversely polarised target in the PS185/3 experiment made it possible, by ...
