Abstract The energy transfer by pi-zeros in the intranuclear cascade initiated by antiproton annihilation at rest in carbon and uranium has been measured to be 28 ± 43 and 232 ± 33 MeV respectively. We estimate the total energy transfer due to all pions to be 75 ± 53 and 447 ± 42 MeV respectively. The uranium value is ∼ 17% larger than a recent theoretical prediction. No predictions for carbon are available. Given the expected increase in efficiency of energy transfer from antiproton beams at ∼ 3 GeV/c momentum, the prospects for initiating multifragmentation and disintegration of heavy nuclei at these energies appear good.
