Inclusive π0 Production over Large X⊥ and XF Ranges in 200-, 300-, and 400-GeV/c Proton-Beryllium Interactions
Abstract
Measurements of recognized π0 production in p-Be collisions for 0.1<X⊥<0.5 and -0.8<XF<0.0 at 200, 300, and 400 GeV/c are presented. These invariant cross sections are fitted by Edσdp3=A(1-XR)MP⊥-N over this range of X⊥ and XF with M=4.88+/-0.14 and N=8.90+/-0.10 independent of energy. No significant evidence for breaking of this scaling is observed over this large kinematic region at these energies.
