Inclusive eta' production as an indicator of gluon fields in hadron collisions

The inclusive production of ..pi../sup 0/, eta, and eta' mesons in ..pi../sup -/p collisions is studied. It is shown that the experimental data of the NA27 group are in good agreement with the model of ordinary quark-gluon string fragmentation for ..pi../sup 0/ and eta mesons. The eta'-meson yields are anomalously large and can only be explained by introducing an additional glueball mechanism of hadron production related to the presence of a glueball component in the initial hadrons.
