Experiment E858 at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Grad
ient Synchrotron has recently reported the detection of two antideuter
ons produced in 14.6A GeV/c Si + Au collisions. The data were interpre
ted as implying antideuteron production rates about an order of magnit
ude below expectations. We use an extended RQMD model to demonstrate t
hat the antideuteron yields are readily explained in a dynamical scena
rio that includes collective expansion and strong antinucleon absorpti
on.
