About 500 antiprotons in a partially purified beam were observed to enter the 30-in. propane bubble chamber. An arrangement of time-of-flight scintillation counters and a velocity-selecting counter enabled electronic identification of antiproton events, thus reducing scanning to a minimum and also providing a sample of antiprotons free of scanning bias. The antiprotons entered the propane at a kinetic energy of 220 Mev and were brought to rest. Scattering and anninilation intera tions in both hydrogen and carbon were observed vs. antiproton energy. Differential scattering cross sections were obtained, and the total cross sections were meassured for antiproton km. etic energies in the ranges 75 to 137.5 Mev and 137.5 to 200 Mev. (auth).
These proceedings cover the latest results in low energy antiproton physics. The volume consists of invited talks and invited contributions on the following subjects: nucleon-antinucleon interactions, antiprotons in astrophysics, meson spectroscopy, strangeness and charm production, antinucleon-nucleus interactions, fundamental symmetries, antiproton facilities, atomic physics with antiprotons, antihydrogen-facilities and experiments.
To determine the nature of the interactions between antinucleons and nucleons, it has been necessary to do an experiment in which the elastic, inelastic, and charge-exchange interactions could be measured. Improvements in the 6-Bev Bevatron have permitted production of a considerably larger flux of antiprotons, than was available in earlier studies. With the use of strong-focusing magnetic quadrupoles, a crossed electric- and magnetic-field spectrometer, and time-of-flight scintillation counters it has been possible to detect approximately 30 antiprotons per minute. By means of a system of 4[pi] solid-angle scintillation counters, it has been possible to measure these cross sections, including the angular distribution of elastic scattering. These cross sections have been measured for antiprotons scattered from hydrogen, beryllium, and carbon in the energy range from 133 to 333 Mev. Ball and Chew have assumed that pion exchange is responsible for the nucleon-nucleon interaction, and have used field theory to calculate the antinucleon-nucleon interaction. They have assumed that the pionic charge of the antinucleon is opposite that of the nucleon; thus, the exchange of an odd number of pions should change the sign of the potential. Outside the hard core, the exchange is assumed to be due to two pions, and the sign of the potential is not reversed for either the nucleon or the antinucleon case.
