Abstract
The invariant differential cross sections and polarization (, GeV/c) of produced in pion-induced reactions have been measured. The scaling cross section agrees with previous experiments performed at other energies. The dependence of the cross section gives an exponent of . These are the first polarization measurements in the pion fragmentation region. A mean polarization of (-5.3 ± 1.2)% is observed with no trend toward large negative polarization with increasing transverse momentum.
