Inclusive Π 0 and Η 0 Production in Π − P Interactions at 360 GeV/c

Theπ 0 andη 0 production is studied inπ − p interactions at 360 GeV/c. The cross section forπ 0 production in the forward hemisphere (X>0) isσ(π 0)=(49.7 ± 1.0 ± 1.1) mb and for η withX>0.1,N ch>2,σ(η 0)=(3.1 ± 0.5) mb. The ratio of theπ 0 toη 0 cross section forX>0.1,N ch>2 isσ(π 0)/σ(η 0). Results on FeynmanX andp T distributions are presented. The data were obtained using the European Hybrid Spectrometer EHS and the bubble chamber LEBC at CERN.
