Proton-induced pion production to the continuum was investigated via the reactions /sup 13/C(p,..pi../sup -/)X, /sup 13/C(p,..pi../sup +/)X, and /sup 16/O(p-arrow-right,..pi../sup +/)X at bombarding proton energies of 250, 354, and 489 MeV, in the kinematic region where the pion has nearly its maximum allowable kinetic energy. Results from the /sup 16/O(p-arrow-right,..pi../sup +/)X reaction indicate that at small missing momenta the analyzing powers can be adequately described by a quasi-free p-arrow-rightp..-->..d..pi../sup +/ process, but as the missing momentum is increased this description becomes less accurate. The energy dependence of the cross section for the inclusive (p,..pi../sup +/) reactions is very similar to that of previously published exclusive (p,..pi../sup +/) data from the same target nuclei. The double differential cross sections for the ..pi../sup -/ data, however, exhibit an energy dependence different from that of the exclusive (p,..pi../sup -/) reaction.
