Comparison of high-transverse-momentum. pi. /sup 0/ production from. pi. /sup -/, K/sup -/, p, and p beams

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
We compare high-transverse-momentum (P/sub perpendicular/) inclusive ..pi../sup 0/ production from ..pi../sup -/, K/sup -/, p, and p beams, at 100 and 200 GeV/c, for center-of-mass (c.m.) angles ranging from 2/sup 0/ to 115/sup 0/, and P/sub perpendicular/ < 4.5 GeV/c. The ratio sigma (pp ..-->.. ..pi../sup 0/X)/sigma (..pi..p ..-->.. ..pi../sup 0/X) decreases with increasing P/sub perpendicular/, and changes dramatically with c.m. angle. Also, the ratios sigma (K/sup -/p ..-->.. ..pi../sup 0/X)/sigma (..pi../sup -/p ..-->.. ..pi../sup 0/X) and sigma (pp ..-->.. ..pi../sup 0/X)/sigma (pp ..-->.. /sup 0/X) are approximately constant. The measurements are consistent with a theoretical viewpoint in which constituents of the incident hadrons undergo a hard-scattering subprocess.
