This thesis presents a study of the quantum number correlations between secondary hadrons produced in a high transverse momentum reaction involving proton and meson beams incident on hydrogen at 200 GeV/c. Events with a single trigger particle having pT in the range between 1.5 GeV/c and 4.5 GeV/c and produced between $$67^0 \le 0^* \le 104^0$$ are investigated using information from a multiparticle spectrometer at Fermilab. These trigger particles are identified as either a $$\pi^{\pm} , K^{\pm}$$ or $$p^{\pm}$$ . Ratios of the cross sections for producing these various triggers are found and compared to several hard scattering models. We also look in a ±45° azimuthal wedge 180° opposite the trigger particle and study the ratio of relatively fast positive hadrons to negative hadrons for different trigger types.
