Annihilation cross-sections of antineutrons on C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb at low momenta (180–280 MeV/c) with the OBELIX spectrometer

Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Annihilation cross-sections σann for antineutrons on some nuclei (C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb) at three antineutron momenta (180, 240 and 280 MeV/c) were measured at LEAR (CERN) with the OBELIX spectrometer. A behaviour σann0 A ν has been found withν≈2/3. The data are discussed following some models for antineutron-nucleus interaction.
