The study of π ± , π 0 , K 0 and Λ production in the fragmentation regions (| x |0.2) of K − p interactions at 70 GeV/ c shows that the x -dependence of each invariant cross section is well described by the power law (1−| x |) n suggested by the dimensional counting rule. Furthermore, pion production is found, both in K − and proton fragmentation regions, to be very similar to their production in ν( ν ) p interactions as expected from quark-parton models. The quark and diquark fragmentation functions D u π , D uu π and D ud π are extracted from our data.

We compare high-transverse-momentum (P⊥) inclusive π0 production from π−, K−, p, and p¯ beams, at 100 and 200 GeV/c, for center-of-mass (c.m.) angles ranging from 2° to 115° and P⊥<4.5 GeV/c. The ratio σ(pp→π0X)σ(πp→π0X) decreases with increasing P⊥, and changes dramatically with c.m. angle. Also, the ratios σ(K−p→π0X)σ(π−p→π0X) and σ(p¯p→π0X)σ(pp→π0X) are approximately constant. These measurements are consistent with a theoretical viewpoint in which constituents of the incident hadrons undergo a hard-scattering subprocess.
