Inclusive cross sections are presented for 2π and 3π systems with large longitudinal x at the highest intersecting storage ring energies (s=53 GeV for 2π; s=53 and 62 GeV for 3π). The ratio π+π−π−π− rises sharply with increasing x similar to the ratio K+K−, as expected in a quark-model interpretation.

The differential cross section is fitted by the equation : E*D3(SIG)/D3(P) = CONST*(1-XL)**POWER*EXP(-SLOPE*PT**2).
