Abstract: (Elsevier)
A study of antiproton annihilation in liquid deuterium into π + π − π − and a spectator proton is presented. For a long time this reaction resisted a description by final state interactions which is surprising (and disturbing) given the success of the final state interaction model in other annihilation reactions. It is shown that the introduction of ρ (1450) is essential to get a reasonable description of the measured Dalitz plot. This resonance was never tried in previous attempts to understand this data. A possible isospin-2- ππ S-wave contribution was tested, but no evidence was found for such a contribution.
