Direct photon production cross sections obtained in high statistics p ̄ p and pp collisions at s =24.3 GeV at the CERN SPS are used in a next-to-leading order QCD analysis. From the cross section difference σ( p ̄ p → γX)−σ(pp → γX) and quark distributions measured in deep inelastic scattering, a determination of the strong coupling constant, α s , is performed via a measurement of Λ (4) MS . This measurement yields a value Λ (4) MS = 210±22 ( stat. )±44 ( syst. ) +105 −36 ( theo. ) MeV. The corresponding value of α s expressed at M 2 Z is α s (M 2 Z )=0.1112 ±0.0016 ( stat. ) ±0.0033 ( syst. ) +0.0077 −0.0034 ( theo. ) .

Value of LAMBDA(MSBAR) and ALPHAS at MZ**2 deduced from the difference in the pbar and p direct photon cross sections. The second systematic error is due to the uncertainties in the theory.

We report results on inclusive direct photon ( γ ), π 0 , and η production in both pp and p̄p interactions at s =24.3 GeV in the transverse momentum range 4.1≤ p T ≤7.7 GeV/ c and rapidity range −0.1≤ y ≤0.9. The data were collected between 1988 and 1990 by the UA6 experiment at CERN, which employed an internal H 2 gas jet target in the Sp̄pS collider. The inclusive direct photon cross sections and the cross section difference σ( p p )−σ( pp ) expressed as functions of p T ( γ ) are compared with next-to-leading order QCD predictions.

Inclusive direct photon invariant cross sections have been measured in both p p and pp collisions at √ s = 24.3 GeV at the CERN SPS, permitting the first measurement of the difference of the p p and pp cross sections. The direct photon cross section in p p collisions has been found to be systematically larger than that in pp collisions, which indicates a significant contribution of the q q annihilation term as predicted by theoretical calculations.

A Measurement of the Inclusive $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ Production Cross-sections at High $p_T$ in $p \bar{p}$ and $p p$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=24$.3-{GeV}

Inclusive π 0 and η production at large transverse momentum were studied in both p̄p and pp interactions at √ s = 24.3 GeV. The experiment was performed using an internal molecular hydrogen gas jet target in the CERN SPS collider. No significant differences between production in p̄p and pp were observed in the transverse momentum range 2.5 < P T < 5.1 GeV/ c .
