Coherent Pion Radiation From Nucleon Antinucleon Annihilation
arXiv:nucl-th/9311020 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.72.970
Abstract
A unified picture of nucleon antinucleon annihilation into pions emerges from a classical description of the pion wave produced in annihilation and the subsequent quantization of that wave as a coherent state. When the constraints of energy-momentum and iso-spin conservation are imposed on the coherent state, the pion number distribution and charge ratios are found to be in excellent agreement with experiment.
