An application of the absorption model to the reactions\(p\bar p \to Y\bar Y\)

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We present a set of calculations of the reaction\(p\bar p \to Y\bar Y\) in the antiproton laboratory momentum range from 3 GeV/c to 7 GeV/c. The process is assumed to take place through K* exchange only, and the calculations are performed within the framework of the absorption model (the distorted wave Born approximation). We obtain a good description of the angular dependence of the cross-section for the three channels\(\Lambda \bar \Lambda ,\Lambda \Sigma ^0 + \bar \Lambda \Sigma ^0 \) and \(\Sigma ^ + \overline {\Sigma ^ + } \) in the whole energy range. However, the energy dependence is wrong, and appears the worst for the channel\(\Lambda \bar \Lambda \), where the angular dependence is best described.

Riassunto

Si presenta una serie di calcoli sulla reazione\(p\bar p \to Y\bar Y\) per un intervallo di impulsi dell'antiprotone nel sistema del laboratorio da 3 GeV/c a 7 GeV/c. Si suppone che il processo abbia luogo unicamente tramite lo scambio di K* e si effettuano i calcoli nello schema del modello di assorbimento (l'approssimazione di Born in onda distorta). Si ottiene una buona descrizione della dipendenza angolare della sezione d'urto per i tre canali\(\Lambda \bar \Lambda ,\Lambda \Sigma ^0 + \bar \Lambda \Sigma ^0 \) e\(\Sigma ^ + \overline {\Sigma ^ + } \) nell'intero intervallo di energia. Tuttavia, la dipendenza dall'energia è sbagliata e risulta pessima per il canale\(\Lambda \bar \Lambda \), dove la dipendenza angolare è meglio descritta.
