Symmetric hadron pair production cross section (π+ π+, π+K+, π+p,K+p, andpp) were measured in the range 0.48≦P⊥≦2.29 GeV/c from Be, Cu, and Pb targets bombarded by 70 GeV protons. TheA-dependence exponent as a function ofP⊥ differs for varios pairs.A steep drop of α for meson pairs atP⊥>1.5 GeV/c is observed.
