Measurements of the differential cross section for the inclusive production of high-energy π0's are reported for the reactions π±p→π0X at a laboratory momentum of 14 GeV/c. The kinematic range covered, in terms of the Feynman scaling variable x and the transverse momentum P⊥, is 0.25≤x≤1.0 and 0≤P⊥≤0.7 GeV/c. Two spectrometers, both employing large NaI(Tl) crystals, are used to detect the π0's and to identify them with a mass resolution of 17 MeV (full width at half maximum). The results are in accord with the hypothesis of limiting fragmentation, which regards the measured reactions, in the kinematic range covered, as examples of disfavored fragmentation.

Differential cross-sections for negative pion radiative capture on protons at c.m. angles of 60°, 90°, and 120° have been measured at nine incident laboratory energies between 110 and 270 MeV. Comparison with measured cross-sections for pion photoproduction and with conventional multipole analyses shows neither evidence for a violation of time reversal invariance nor for an isotensor component of the electromagnetic current of hardrons.
