Limits on the low-energy antinucleon annihilations from the Heisenberg principle

Abstract

Here a short synthesis is presented of the work, developed in the last two years by the Brescia Collaboration, on the phenomenology of antinucleon-nucleon and antinucleon-nucleus annihilation at small momenta (below 300 MeV/c in the laboratory), with special stress on the role of general principles.
