$$\pi^0$$ Production with $K^-$ and $$\pi^+$$ Beams at 530 GeV/c
- Univ. of Rochester, NY (United States)
In thia theaia we report on measurements of inclusive neutral pion production at large transverse momenta ($$P_T$$) in collision of 530 GeV/c ($$\sqrt{s}$$ = 31.5 GeV) $K^-$ and $$\pi^+$$ beams with a copper and beryllium combined target. The $$\pi^0$$ acceptance in center-of-mass rapidity is $$\mid y \mid$$ < 0.7, for $$P_T$$ values greater than 3.5 GeV/c (negative beam) and 4.25 GeV/c (positive beam). The data were taken using the large acceptance liquid argon calorimeter of the E706 spectrometer at Fermilab, and analyzed using the standard E706 reconstruction package. Ratios on $$\pi^0$$ yields using $$\pi^+, \pi^-, K^-$$ and $$p$$ are presented. The results are used to examine issues of scaling in point-like hadronic collisions at high energies and large transverse momenta.
