Abstract
Pion and photon production cross sections are analyzed in proton-nucleus co llisions at energies 20 GeV less than or similar to root s less than or sim ilar to 60 GeV using a phenomenological description for the proton-proton c ollision. We separate the proton proton and nuclear contributions to transv erse-momentum broadening and suggest a new mechanism for the nuclear enhanc ement at high p(T).
