Abstract

Inclusive particle production cross-sections have been measured at the\(Sp\bar pS\) collider using the UA2 detector in various ranges of transverse momentum (P T ) and pseudo-rapidity (η). Cross-section measurements are presented forπ 0 production (P T ≦15 GeV/c, |η|≦0.85 andP T ≦40 GeV/c, 1.0≦|η|≦1.8), for η meson production (3≦P T ≦6 GeV/c, |η|≦0.85) and for charged particle production (P T ≦10 GeV/c, 1.0≦|η|≦1.8). Results are compared with the predictions of QCD calculations.
