Abstract

Abstract Information on the neutron distribution in the nuclear periphery was obtained by the annihilation of stopped antiprotons and the yield of residual nuclei. The last atomic transitions of the antiproton before annihilation gives complementary results. Properties of very hot nuclei (up to 1 GeV) after annihilation of stopped antiprotons were studied by neutron emission and fission. Absolute prob­ abilities of fission induced by stopped and fast antiprotons were determined. The experimental data are compared with elaborate calculations taking into account the annihilation process, the fast cascade and pre-equilibrium emission, thermalisation, particle evaporation and fission.
