Inclusive $pi$$sup 0$ production in $pi$$sup -$p interactions at 5 GeV/c

We have measured the cross section for the reaction $pi$$sup -$p $Yields$ $pi$$sup 0$ + anything at an incident momentum of 5 GeV/c. The two $gamma$ rays from $pi$$sup 0$ decays were detected using a 150-element lead-glass hodoscope array. A comparison is given of the inclusive $pi$$sup 0$ spectrum from hydrogen (obtained through a subtraction of CH$sub 2$ and C target data) with $pi$$sup 0$ production from C and Cu. (AIP)
