From the energy dependence of the p¯p and p¯n inelastic cross sections we deduce an upper limit to the resonant contribution in p¯p backward scattering for c.m. energies between 1915 and 1950 MeV. This limit is smaller than the expected contribution from diffraction scattering. The energy dependence of the 180° p¯p elastic cross section in this energy range cannot therefore be directly related to the formation of s-channel resonances.
