Abstract: The inclusive production of vector mesons (charged ρ(770), ω(783), ϕ(1020) and neutral K(892)) in π p interactions at 360 GeV/c is studied. The data are based on 160 000 reconstructed events recorded in the NA 27 Experiment using the LEBC-EHS facility at CERN. The production cross sections in the forward hemisphere in c.m.s. and the longitudinal momentum distributions are determined. The results are compared with data obtained at lower energies.
