Nuclear Effects in High Energy Photon and Neutral Pion Production

Abstract

We study the mechanism of the ${\hat{I}}^3$ and $\ddot{I}{€}^0$ enhancement at large transverse momenta in proton-nucleus collisions. A proposed mechanism suggests an increase in the width of the transverse momentum distribution of partons in a semihard process.
