Production of High Transverse Momentum $$\pi^0$$ Mesons in Interactions of 530 GeV/c Proton and $$\pi^-$$ Beams on Beryllium and Copper Targets
- Northeastern U.
The inclusive cross section for $$\pi^0$$ production by 530 GeV/c $$\pi^-$$ and proton beams on beryllium and copper targets, have been measured as a function of rapidity ($$y$$) and transverse momentum ($$P_T$$). The data were collected during the 1987-88 experimental run of experiment E706 at Fermilab, using a finely grained electromagnetic calorimeter and a charged particle spectrometer. The transverse momentum and rapidity ranges covered are 3.25 < $$P_T$$ < 10 GeV /c and -0.7 < $$y$$ < 0.7 respectively. The cross section dependence on the atomic number (A) and the beam type has been examined. Results have been compared with leading order QCD calculations.
