Abstract

Antineutron annihilation cross sections on C, Al, Cu, Ag, Sn and Pb targets were measured in the momentum range 50–400 MeV/c. The full set of data is very well described by a parameterization in which the target mass number and momentum dependence are factorized. The A dependence is, within 2%, consistent with a A2/3 scaling law, indicating a pure surface process. The momentum dependence is, within 20%, consistent with that expected from a properly averaged contribution of the elementary cross section for and annihilation, indicating that the process is due to the interaction with single nucleons on the surface.
