Abstract

We calculated antibaryon (Bˉ\bar{B} = pˉ\bar{p}, Λˉ\bar{\Lambda}, Σˉ\bar{\Sigma}, Ξˉ\bar{\Xi}) bound states in selected nuclei within the relativistic mean-field (RMF) model. The G-parity motivated Bˉ\bar{B}-meson coupling constants were scaled to yield corresponding potentials consistent with available experimental data. Large polarization of the nuclear core caused by Bˉ\bar{B} was confirmed. The pˉ\bar{p} annihilation in the nuclear medium was incorporated by including a phenomenological imaginary part of the optical potential. The calculations using a complex pˉ\bar{p}-nucleus potential were performed fully self-consistently. The pˉ\bar{p} widths significantly decrease when the phase space reduction is considered for pˉ\bar{p} annihilation products, but they still remain sizeable for potentials consistent with pˉ\bar{p}-atom data.
