Abstract: (Elsevier)
We propose that measurements of the antiproton and proton yields in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions can provide a sensitive probe of the spacetime evolution in these reactions. We estimate the antiproton suppression expected due to annihilation processes for collisions in the energy range s =10–200 A GeV .- nucleus nucleus: nuclear reaction
- scattering: heavy ion
- nuclear reaction: central region
- baryon: hadroproduction
- yield: (p anti-p)
- baryon antibaryon: annihilation
- final-state interaction
- string model
- rapidity spectrum
- numerical calculations
