Abstract
We have investigated the production of charmed particles with xF≳.2 with 350 GeV protons and 278 GeV π−’s on iron by studying prompt single muon production for pμ≳20 GeV/c. Charm production cross sections and xF distributions are presented. By comparing these results with other measurements on different nuclear targets, it is possible to infer the atomic weight A dependence of hadronic charm production.
