Antiproton-Nucleon Cross Sections from 0.5 to 1.0 BeV

Abstract
Antiproton-production and nucleon-interaction cross sections were investigated for antiprotons in the energy range 0.5 to 1.0 BeV. The antiprotons were distinguished from other particles produced at the Bevatron by a system of scintillation and velocity-selecting-Čerenkov counters. The excitation function and momentum distribution were recorded for antiproton production in carbon and compared with statistical model expectations.
