Measurement of anti pp annihilation cross sections into charged particles in the momentum range 374-680 MeV/c
AbstractAbstract
[en] anti pp annihilation cross sections into 2-, 4- and 6-prong topologies, and the exclusive annihilation cross sections for the π+ π-, K+ K-, π+ π- π0, π+ π+ π- π-, π+ π+ π- π- π0, π+ π+ π+ π- π- π-, and π+ π+ π+ π- π- π- π0 channels in the momentum range 374-680 MeV/c were measured. No prominent structure was observed in the momentum dependence of any of the above cross sections, but a small enhancement in the cross section was observed at 490 MeV/c corresponding to the S meson mass in the topological, and π+ π- π0 and π+ π+ π- π- π0 cross sections. If the existence of the S meson with a mass and width of 1935.5 and 2.8 MeV/c2 is assumed, our measurement gives a total resonant annihilation cross section into charged particles of 10.0 +- 3.0 mb.
