In collisions of 40-GeV/c antiprotons with D, Li, C, S, Cu, and Pb nuclei, mean multiplicities of various secondary particles are investigated as functions of the mass number A. The mass-number dependence of the mean multiplicities of positively charged particles suggests that the effect of intranuclear cascades is strong for the emission of Λ hyperons, but that it is relatively weak for the emission of either K 0 or \(\bar \Lambda \). Also measured are the yields of various neutral strange particles with respect to those of charged secondaries.

We have studied (p̄, p) reactions on 12 C , 63 Cu, and 209 Bi to search for possible nuclear states formed ny antiprotons and nuclei. The experiments used the 180 MeV antiproton beam from LEAR, and the high-resolution magnetic spectrometer, SPES II, to detect the outgoing protons. No evidence of antiproton-nucleus states was found. The gross features of the proton spectra are reasonably well described by intranuclear cascade model calculations, which consider proton emission following antiproton annihilations in the target nucleus.
Parameters resulting from the best fits to the proton spectra with the expression D2(SIG)/D(OMEGA)/D(E) = CONST*SQRT(E)*EXP(-E/SLOPE).
