Charmed meson rescattering in the reaction pbar d to D Dbar N

Understand

We examine the possibility to extract information about the DN and DbarN interactions from the pbar d to D Dbar N reaction.

• We utilize the notion that the open-charm mesons are first produced in the annihilation of the antiproton on one nucleon in the deuteron and subsequently rescatter on the other (the spectator) nucleon.
• The latter process is then exploited for investigating the DN and DbarN interactions.
• We study different methods for isolating the contributions from the D^0p and D^-p rescattering terms.
