We report measurements of d¯, p¯, K−, and π− produced at 0° in collisions of 14.6A GeV/c Si28 on Al, Cu, and Au targets. A beam-line focusing spectrometer was used to identify particles at rigidities from -2 to -8 GV. The ratio of d¯/p¯ invariant cross sections at midrapidity (y=1.7) is (1±0.7)×10−5, larger than expected from a calculation of dd¯ direct production but smaller than predicted by a simple coalescence model. We also report limits on the production of exotic particles.

An estimate of the temperature of protons andπ− mesons in central He−Li, He−C, C−C, C−Ne, C−Cu, C−Pb, O−Pb, Mg−Mg interactions is presented. The results indicate an increase of the proton temperature with increasing mass numbers of projectile and target nuclei (Ap,AT) fromTp=(118±3) MeV for He−Li toTp=(141±2) MeV for C−Pb. The temperature ofπ− mesons does not depend onAP,AT andTπ≃95 MeV. A satisfactory fit forπ− mesons in C−Cu, C−Pb, O−Pb, Mg−Mg collisions can be achieved by using a form involving two temperatures,T1 andT2. The relative yield of the high temperature component (T2) is ≅24% for C−Cu, C−Pb, and Mg−Mg interactions. The observed results forTP in C−Ne, C−Cu and C−Pb collisions are consistent with the prediction of the thermodynamic hagedorn model.

THE D(N)/D(PT) distribution has been fitted by the form: PT*ET*K1(SLOPE*ET), where K1 is Mac-Donaldis function. for C-CU and C-PB YRAP=0.3-1.7.
