Abstract:The reactions e+e- → e+e-π0 X and are studied using data collected at LEP with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 202 GeV. Inclusive differential cross sections are measured as a function of the particle transverse momentum pt and the pseudo-rapidity. For pt ≤ 1.5 GeV, the π0 and differential cross sections are described by an exponential, typical of soft hadronic processes. For pt ≥ 1.5 GeV, the cross sections show the presence of perturbative QCD processes, described by a power-law. The data are compared to NLO QCD calculations.
