The production of neutral pions has been studied in the 16 O+ 27 Al, 58 Ni, 208 Pb reactions at 95 MeV/nucleon. Inclusive pion differential distributions d σ d p t , d σ d T π , and d σ d Ω have been measured by detecting the two-pion decay γ-rays in a setup of 8 lead glass Cherenkov detector telescopes. The data are discussed in the framework of a moving thermal source model. It is shown that the shape of the pion energy spectra is better described if mean field effects on the primary pion-production cross section and pion reabsorption are included in the calculation.
