The nuclear physics program of the ASACUSA Experiment at CERN concerns measuraments of antiproton-nuclei cross sections at low energies from MeV down to keV region. The importance of the results lies in the possibility to contribute in the understanding of the dynamic of annihilation process and to shed ligth on the saturation effect seen by the OBELIX Collaboration at 1-2 MeV where the annihilation rates od antiprotons on light nuclei (H, D, He) appear to be independent from the sizes of the targets.
The measurements performed by ASACUSA in 2008 with 5 MeV antiprotons on solid targets are reported and the trend with the mass number discussed.
