Abstract

This Letter suggests that p¯-nucleus scattering might display resonant phenomena at certain energies, arising from the orbiting of the p¯ in a pocket of nuclear attraction extending beyond the region of strong absorption. This results in resonances of typical widths 15-150 MeV in the 180° excitation function and large polarizations for large-angle elastic scattering.
