Sv. Golovkin et al., INVESTIGATION OF QUASIEXCLUSIVE NEUTRAL-MESON PRODUCTION IN PN COLLISIONS AT E(P)=70GEV IN THE DEEP-FRAGMENTATION REGION, Physics of atomic nuclei, 59(7), 1996, pp. 1191-1197
The quasiexclusive production of pi(0), eta, and omega mesons in pN co
llisions via baryon exchange is studied in the deep-fragmentation regi
on (x(F) greater than or equal to 0.9). The cross sections for these p
rocesses and the corresponding differential distributions d sigma/dx(F
) and d sigma/dp(T)(2) are obtained. Owing to the appreciable values o
f these cross sections, the quasiexclusive processes under study seem
very promising in searches for exotic mesons.
