The reaction p ̄ p→K + K − π 0 was analysed for antiproton annihilations at rest at three hydrogen target densities. A strong dependence of the p ̄ p→φπ 0 yield on the quantum numbers of the initial state is observed. The branching ratio of the φπ 0 channel from the 3 S 1 initial state is more than 15 times larger than the one from the 1 P 1 state. A large apparent violation of the OZI rule for tensor meson production from p ̄ p -annihilations from the P -waves (1 ++ +2 ++ ) is observed: R exp ( f ′ 2 π 0 / f 2 π 0 )=(149±20)·10 −3 , significantly exceeding the OZI-rule prediction R =16·10 −3 .

The results of a measurement of the ratio R = Y(phi pi+ pi-) / Y(omega pi+ pi-) for antiproton annihilation at rest in a gaseous and in a liquid hydrogen target are presented. It was found that the value of this ratio increases with the decreasing of the dipion mass, which demonstrates the difference in the phi and omega production mechanisms. An indication on the momentum transfer dependence of the apparent OZI rule violation for phi production from the 3S1 initial state was found.

The frequency of the protonium annihilation channel p p → K S K L has been measured at three different target densities: liquid hydrogen ( LH ), gaseous hydrogen at NTP conditions and gaseous hydrogen at low pressure (5 mbar). The obtained results are: f( p p → K S K L , LH) = (7.8 ± 0.7 stat ± 0.3 sys ) × 10 −4 , f( p p → K S K L , NTP) = (3.5 ± 0.5 stat ± 0.2 sys ) × 10 −4 and f( p p → K S K L , 5 mbar ) = (1.0 ± 0.3 stat ± 0.1 sys ) × 10 −4 . Since the K S K L final stat and be originated only from the 3 S 1 initial state, these values give direct information on the scaling of the protonium spin-triplet S-wave annihilation probability with the density.
Three different target densities: liquid hydrogen (LH), gaseous hydrogen atstandard temperature and pressure conditions (NTP), and gaseous hydrogen at 5 m bar pressure (LP). The annihilation proceeds only from 3S1 initial state.
The p̄p total annihilation cross section has been measured, with the Obelix apparatus at LEAR, at ten values of the antiproton incident momentum between 43 and 175 MeV/ c . The values of the cross section show that the well known 1 p behaviour of the annihilation cross section is drastically modified at very low momenta, which demonstrates the important role of the Coulomb force in low energy p̄p interaction. Moreover, they do not present any explicit resonant behaviour. Finally, when compared to potential model calculations, the data suggest that the percentage of P-wave in p̄p interaction around 50 MeV/ c antiproton incident momentum is less than 5%.

The φπ + /ωπ + ratio from n¯p annihilations on a liquid hydrogen target, for n¯ momenta between 64 and 297 MeV/ c , was measured using the OBELIX spectrometer at LEAR. The ratio R(ϕπ/ωπ)=σ(n¯p→ϕπ+)/σ(n¯p→ωπ+) turned out 0.110±0.015 stat ±0.006 syst . Implications of this result on the OZI rule are discussed.
Assumes branching ratios of (49.1 +- 0.8)% for phi --> K+ K- and (88.8 +- 0.6)% for omega --> pi+ pi- pi0.
