Data relative to antineutron and antiproton annihilation on large nuclei in the range 75-200 MeV/c present two unexpected features: (a) antineutron and antiproton cross sections have a similar size, (ii) the rise of the antineutron cross…
During the runs of the PS 179 experiment at LEAR of CERN, we photographed an event of antiproton-Ne absorption, with a complete pi+ -> mu+ ->e+ chain. From the vertex of the reaction a very slow energy pi+ was emitted. The pi+ decays into a…

We propose to describe the process $ p ~ \bar{p} \rightarrow \pi^+ ~ \pi^-$ in a perturbative, QCD motivated framework in which a hard $ud \, \bar{u} \bar{d} \rightarrow d \, \bar{d} $ annihilation factorizes from soft transition…
