Inclusive Hadron Scattering From 50 To 175 Gev-C

This Letter reports measurements for the processes $a+p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}a+X$ where $a$ is ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$, ${K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$, or ${p}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ over range of the Feynman $x$ from 0.7 to 0.975 at Fermilab energies. The data for all reactions are well represented by a simple parametrization. The cross sections show significant energy dependence in the high-$x$ region. While the data are consistent with factorization in the high-$x$ region and small $t$, the proton data are inconsistent with factorization for $x\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.9$.
