Abstract

We have used the E814 apparatus to make a systematic study of antiproton production in collisions of ²⁸Si ions at 14.6 GeV/c per nucleon with targets of Pb, Cu, and Al. We have measured the antiproton yield per interaction as a function of transverse energy and have found the yield to increase by a factor of ≈ 2 in going from the least to the most central collisions on the Pb target. A simple first-collision picture of antiproton production predicts the yield to increase by a factor of ≈ 11. We suggest that the discrepancy may result from the annihilation of antiprotons within the nuclear medium.
