Production of π0 mesons in muon-hydrogen interactions at 200 GeV

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Thez andp 2 T distributions of π0 mesons produced by the interaction of 200 GeV muons on hydrogen are presented. Comparisons are made with other π0 and charged hadron data and with the predictions of perturbative QCD. The data show a rise of 〈p 2 T 〉 withW 2 which is consistent with QCD, and withz 2 which requires a contribution from a primordialk T . The fraction of total energy which appears as π0 mesons is 0.27±0.05.
