Abstract
The ratio R between the branching fractions of (p) over bar p --> KSKS and (p) over bar p --> KSKL for antiprotons annihilating at rest in g aseous hydrogen at 27 bar pressure was measured with the CPLEAR detect or to be R(27 bar) = 0.037 +/- 0.002. The fraction of P-wave annihilat ion at rest at this target density was deduced to be 0.45 +/- 0.06. A value of R was also measured at 15 bar, with less statistics, yielding R(15 bar) = 0.041 +/- 0.009. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B .V.
