Abstract

The annihilation frequency of the reaction p̄p→π 0π0 at rest in liquid hydrogen has been measured by the Obelix experiment by using different apparatus configurations and trigger conditions. The value obtained is f(π0π0, LH) = (2.8±0.1stat±0.4syst)×10 -4. With the same data samples, the π0η annihilation frequency has been determined to f(π0η, LH) = (0.9±0.2stat±0.15syst)×10 -4. The results are discussed within the frame of the present experimental situation.
