Abstract
We report on the first observation of subthreshold antiproton production in nucleus-nucleus collisions. This measurement was made for the system /sup 28/Si+/sup 28/Si at a bombarding energy of 2.1 GeV/nucleon (kinetic energy per NN pair in the c.m. frame /similar to/850 MeV). A differential cross section d/sup 2/sigma/dP d ..cap omega.. of 80 +- 40 nb/sr (GeV/c) was measured for p-bar production at 1.9 GeV/c and 0/sup 0/. This result is 3 orders of magnitude larger than that predicted by a calculation incorporating internal motion of the nucleons in the colliding nuclei.
