Inclusive π° production in 360 GeVpp interactions using the European hybrid spectrometer

The intermediate and forward gamma detectors of EHS are used to reconstruct π°'s produced by 360 GeV/cpp interactions in the Rapid Cycling Bubble Chamber (RCBC). Using the pp forward-backward symmetry, the inclusive π° production cross section is obtained σ π° =(132±11) mb. The average π° multiplicity is determined as a function of the charged particle multiplicity. The (1-x) dependence is given for different p T regions.
