Summary
The role played by conservation laws and selection rules is analyzed for production and annihilation of antinucleons. The cross sections for these processes are developed in terms of the independent cross sections for the transitions which conserve the total isotopic spin. In addition, the initial and final states are analyzed and selection rules are stated for the different processes.
Riassunto
Si studia il ruolo delle leggi di conservazione e delle relative regole di selezione nei processi di produzione e di annichilamento degli antinucleoni. Le sezioni d’urto per questi processi sono sviluppate come combinazione lineare delle sezioni d’urto indipendenti per le transizioni che conservano lo spin isotopico totale. Inoltre si analizzano gli stati iniziali e finali e si ottengono le regole di selezione per i differenti processi.

For the states of three neutral pions this representation does not take into account the complete symmetrization of the eigenfunctions. To do this a metod similar to that used byG. Racah:Phys. Rev.,63, 367 (1943), should be used. Then some of the states of three π0 allowed in Table V will not be physically possible.
