Single particle inclusive spectra are presented for pion and kaon production in Si + Au reactions at an incident momentum of 14.6 A [center dot] GeV/c and Au + Au reactions at an incident momentum of 11.6 A [center dot] GeV/c. A simple geometric scaling of the pion production for central collisions as A[sub proj][sup 1/3] and A[sub targ][sup 2/3] results from the observed production of about one pion per participant. Kaon yields are shown to be proportional to the number of excited participants and consistent with RQMD and ARC calculations.
