Delta excitation in antiproton-deutron annihilation

Abstract

The $Δ$-excitation in $\overline{p}d$ annihilation at rest was studied. The annihilation amplitude from the statistical model and the $πN$ amplitude from the resonance model were adopted in our calculations. We analyze the invariant mass of the $π^+p$ and $π^-p$ systems selecting the protons with momenta above 400 MeV/c and with respect to the different final reaction channels. Our model reproduces reasonably the experimental data.
