Pion correlation from Skyrmion-AntiSkyrmion annihilation

We study two pion correlations from Skyrmion and antiSkyrmion collision, using the product ansatz and an approximate random grooming method for nucleon projection. The spatial-isospin coupling inherent in the Skyrme model, along with empirical averages, leads to correlations not only among pions of like charges but also among unlike charge types.Comment: uuencoded files of REVTeX and postscript, 18 pages including 2 figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.

Classical and Quantum Coherent State Description of Nucleon-Antinucleon Annihilation at Rest in the Skyrme Model with Omega Mesons

We model the $N\bar{N}$ system at rest as a baryon number zero lump in the Skyrme model including the $\omega$ field. We integrate the classical equations of motion from the highly non-perturbative annihilation region into the non-interacting radiation zone. Subsequent coherent state quantization of the radiation field gives a good description of the pion spectrum from annihilation at rest.Comment: 15 pages (RevTex), 1 table, 13 figures (postscript files available upon request from the authors), Univ. of Pennsylvania Preprin

On the relationship of the scaled phase space and Skyrme-coherent state treatments of proton antiproton annihilation at rest

We discuss pion multiplicities and single pion momentum spectra from proton antiproton annihilation at rest. Both the scaled phase space model and the Skyrme-coherent state approach describe these observables well. In the coherent state approach the puzzling size of the scale parameter relating the phase space integrals for different multiplicities is replaced by a well defined weight function. The strength of this function is determined by the intensity of the classical pion field and its spatial extent is of order 1 fm.Comment: 11 pages including 4 figures(postscript
