Antiproton-nucleus collisions simulation within a kinetic approach with relativistic mean fields

The Giessen Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport model with relativistic mean fields is used to simulate $\bar p$-nucleus collisions. Antiproton absorption cross sections and momentum distributions of annihilation products are calculated by varying the $\bar p$ coupling strength to the mean meson fields. Parameters of the antiproton-nucleus optical potential are extracted from the comparison of the model calculations with experimental data.
