Abstract
The emission of a single pion in antiproton-proton interactions induced by 22.4GeV/c antiprotons is found to proceed through the formation and decay o f (anti)nucleon resonances. The effective-mass spectrum of the pion-nucleon system is dominated by the delta isobar below 1.35 GeV/c(2) and by the N-1 525 and N-1688 resonances above 1.35 GeV/c2. The squared-momentum-transfer distributions for the formation of isospin-3/2 and isospin-1/2 resonances s how exponential forms with slope parameters of some 10 and 5 (GeV/c)(-2), r espectively.
