ON PRODUCTION OF SOME NEUTRAL MESONS IN PION-INDUCED REACTIONS AT HIGH ENERGIES AND AT LARGE TRANSVERSE MOMENTA

Abstract

The measured data on production of π0 and η mesons at large transverse momenta in high energy π-P and π-Be interactions have here been analyzed with the help of a newly-developed phenomenological model, called Combinational Approach(CA). The results so obtained on the basis of the CA are seen to be in fair agreement with the measured data. Furthermore, the results so obtained have been compared with both some previous measuremnts by the same group and some models of the standard variety type, e.g., PYTHIA, HERWIG.
