Abstract

Single- and double-pion inclusive spectra are presented for 100-GeV/c $\bar{p} p$ interactions and compared with related $pp$ data. Double-fragmentation distributions are shown to be understood within a Mueller-Regge framework as a product of single-fragmentation distributions. Consideration of $pp$ and $\bar{p} p - p p$ distributions shows factorization to hold in Pomeron and in Reggeon exchanges independently.
