Strangeness production in antiproton-nucleus annihilation    [PDF]

A. B. Larionov, T. Gaitanos, H. Lenske, U. Mosel
The results of the microscopic transport calculations of $\bar p$-nucleus interactions within a GiBUU model are presented. The dominating mechanism of hyperon production is the strangeness exchange processes $\bar K N \to Y \pi$ and $\bar K N \to \Xi K$. The calculated rapidity spectra of $\Xi$ hyperons are significantly shifted to forward rapidities with respect to the spectra of $S=-1$ hyperons. We argue that this shift should be a sensitive test for the possible exotic mechanisms of $\bar p$-nucleus annihilation. The production of the double $\Lambda$-hypernuclei by $\Xi^-$ interaction with a secondary target is calculated.
