Zahed, G. Brown] A nonperturbative picture ofN $$\bar N$$ annihilation is proposed. In particular, different parts of the nucleon and the antinucleon do not behave independently, but are tied together by their topological charge. We describe theN $$\bar N$$ state as a coherent soliton-antisoliton configuration, and argue that vector mesons play an important role in the decay process. SomeS-wave selection rules are derived. Their relevance to the present LEAR experiments is discussed. Springer-Verlag, 1990 24.10.−i nationallicence 25.40.−h nationallicence 12.00 nationallicence 13.00 nationallicence Zahed I.
