Annihilation diagrams involving nucleon as well as Delta-resonance exchanges are included consistently in the two- and three-pion channels. Effects from the initial-state interaction are fully taken into account. A comparison of the influence of the Delta exchange on the considered annihilation channels is made and reveals that its importance for three-pion annihilation is strongly reduced as compared to two-pion annihilation. It is found that annihilation into three uncorrelated pions can yield up to 10 % of the total experimentally observed three-pion annihilation cross section.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-03-25T10:30:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "proton-antiproton annihilation", "three-pion channels", "delta exchange", "three-pion annihilation cross section", "annihilation channels" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s10050-002-8796-z", "journal": "European Physical Journal A", "year": 2002, "month": "May", "volume": 14, "number": 1, "pages": 113 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 584530, "adsabs": "2002EPJA...14..113B" } } }
