Inclusive and semi-inclusive cross sections for rho/sup 0/ production in 100, 200, and 360 GeV/c ..pi../sup -/p interactions are presented. Differential cross sections for rho/sup 0/ production as functions of c.m. rapidity and transverse momentum are compared with the corresponding differential cross sections for pion production. Effects of various methods of estimating background on the values obtained for rho/sup 0/ production cross sections are discussed. About 10% of the final-state charged pions appear to come from rho/sup 0/ decay. Thus, while rho/sup 0/ production and decay is a significant source of final-state pions, other sources must contribute the majority of the produced pions.
