Abstract

Measurements of recognized

π^{0}

production in

p

-Be collisions for

0.1 < X_{⊥} < 0.5

and

- 0.8 < X_{F} < 0.0

at 200, 300, and 400 GeV/c are presented. These invariant cross sections are fitted by

E \frac{d σ}{d p^{3}} = A {(1 - X_{R})}^{M} {P_{⊥}}^{- N}

over this range of

X_{⊥}

and

X_{F}

with

M = 4.88 \pm 0.14

and

N = 8.90 \pm 0.10

independent of energy. No significant evidence for breaking of this scaling is observed over this large kinematic region at these energies.
