Abstract

Data on large--transverse-momentum ..pi../sup 0/ production by proton, pion, and kaon beams is used to extract the large-x behavior of meson structure functions. Good agreement is found with the proton and pion quark distribution functions obtained from deep inelastic and dimuon production experiments. This study provides the first look at the kaon structure function. A significantly faster falloff is found as x approaches unity than for that of pions.
