Abstract
We study the strangeness production in antiproton-nucleus collisions at the beam momenta from 200 MeV/c to 15 GeV/c within the Giessen Botzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (GiBUU) transport model. The GiBUU model contains a very detailed description of the underlying antinucleon-nucleon cross sections, in-particular, of the strangeness production channels. We compare our calculations with the bubble chamber data on \Lambda- and K^0_S-production in antiproton-nucleus collisions and with the earlier intranuclear cascade calculations. The contributions of the various partial channels to the hyperon production are reported and systematic differences with experiment are discussed. The possible formation of the bound \Lambda- and \Lambda\Lambda-nucleus systems is also considered. Finally, the results on the \Xi-hyperon production are presented in view of the forthcoming experiments with antiproton beams at FAIR.
