Inclusive cross sections for π 0, K s 0, Λ 0 and Λ 0 production in 100, 200 and 360 GeV/c π − p interactions are presented and compared with data at other energies. Invariant cross sections for γ, K s 0, Λ 0 and Λ 0 production are presented in terms of Feynman x, the rapidity y, and transverse momentum squared, p T 2. A comparison of the observed γ spectrum is made with the spectra computed assuming that the π 0 momentum distribution is identical to that of the observed π + or π −.
