Abstract
We discuss a model for the inclusive production of forward neutrons in high energy hadronic and deep inelastic reactions based on Regge phenomenology. The model includes pion and rho exchange as well as a contribution from th e decay of Delta -resonances. The pi, rho -exchanges are taken in the regge ized form. A good description of the reaction pp --> nX is achieved. The ap plication to deep inelastic scattering is discussed.
