Abstract

We report results on inclusive direct photon (γ),π₀, and η production in both pp and p̄p interactions at √s = 24.3 GeV in the transverse momentum range 4.1 ≤ p_T ≤ GeV/c and rapidity range -0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.9. The data were collected between 1988 and 1990 by the UA6 experiment at CERN, which employed an internal H₂ gas jet target in the Sp̄pS collider. The inclusive direct photon cross sections and the cross section difference σ(p̄p) - σ(pp) expressed as functions of P_T(y) are compared with next-to-leading order QCD predictions.
