Abstract

In the framework of the relativistic quantum molecular dynamics approach ({\small RQMD}) we investigate antideuteron (d\overline{d}) observables in Au+Au collisions at 10.7~AGeV. The impact parameter dependence of the formation ratios d/p2\overline{d}/\overline{p}^2 and d/p2{d}/{p}^2 is calculated. In central collisions, the antideuteron formation ratio is predicted to be two orders of magnitude lower than the deuteron formation ratio. The d\overline{d} yield in central Au+Au collisions is one order of magnitude lower than in Si+Al collisions. In semicentral collisions different configuration space distributions of p\overline{p}'s and d\overline{d}'s lead to a large ``squeeze--out'' effect for antideuterons, which is not predicted for the p\overline{p}'s.
