Within the framework of the Lanzhou quantum molecular dynamics (LQMD) transport model, the nuclear fragmentation and particle production induced by low-energy antiprotons have been investigated thoroughly. Production of strange particles in the antiproton induced nuclear reactions is modeled within the LQMD model, in which all possible reaction channels such as elastic scattering, annihilation, charge exchange and inelastic scattering in antibaryon-baryon, baryon-baryon and mesonbaryon collisions have been included. A coalescence approach is developed for constructing the primary fragments in phase space. The secondary decay process of the fragments is described by the well-known statistical code. It is found that the strangeness exchange reactions dominate the hyperon production. A bump structure in the domain of intermediate mass for heavy targets appears owing to the contribution of fission fragments. It has advantage to produce heavier hyperfragments and hypernuclides with strangeness s = -2 (double-Λ fragments) and s = 1 (Λ-fragments) in antiproton induced reactions. The production cross sections are evaluated.

Abstract: Within the framework of the Lanzhou quantum molecular dynamics (LQMD) transport model, the nuclear fragmentation and particle production induced by low-energy antiprotons have been investigated thoroughly. Production of strange particles in the antiproton induced nuclear reactions is modeled within the LQMD model, in which all possible reaction channels such as elastic scattering, annihilation, charge exchange and inelastic scattering in antibaryon-baryon, baryon-baryon and mesonbaryon collisions have been included. A coalescence approach is developed for constructing the primary fragments in phase space. The secondary decay process of the fragments is described by the well-known statistical code. It is found that the strangeness exchange reactions dominate the hyperon production. A bump structure in the domain of intermediate mass for heavy targets appears owing to the contribution of fission fragments. It has advantage to produce heavier hyperfragments and hypernuclides with strangeness s = -2 (double-Λ fragments) and s = 1 (Λ-fragments) in antiproton induced reactions.
