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 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.
