Strangeness production in antiproton-nucleus collisions
Antiproton annihilations on nuclei provide a very interesting way to study
the behaviour of strange particles in the nuclear medium. In low energy annihilations, the hyperons are produced mostly by strangeness exchange
mechanisms. Thus, hyperon production in interactions is very
sensitive to the properties of the antikaon-nucleon interaction in nuclear
medium. Within the Giessen Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport model (GiBUU),
we analyse the experimental data on and production in collisions at GeV/c. A satisfactory overall agreement is
reached, except for the production in Ne collisions at
MeV/c, where we obtain substantially larger
production rate. We also study the hyperon production, important in view
of the forthcoming experiments at FAIR and J-PARC.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, invited talk given by A.B. Larionov at the 10th

Dynamical. and statistical fragment emission properties in 200 A MeV Ne-20+Ar-40 collisions
Dynamical and statistical fragment emission processes in 200 A MeV Ne-20 + Ar-40 collisions are well probed by measurements of charge (Z), mass (A) and momentum vector ((p) over right arrow) of all fragments in large parts of the available momentum space. We present such data obtained at the cluster-jet target of the CELSIUS storage ring, for the first time with an internal, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatible detector system (CHICSi). Energy and angular dependence in Z and A distributions are not reproduced by a single-step model, e.g., those based on molecular dynamics (MD), but require a complete three-step model. We use here the intranuclear cascade+ statistical multifragmentation + secondary evaporation model (CFEM). The angular dependence of isobaric ratios, like He-6/Li-6 at low emission velocities and temperatures extracted from isotopic (double) ratios, do exhibit differences, even from this model. These differences, which call for adjustment of model parameters, are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
