Abstract
Measurements of the individual multiplicities of pi /sup +/, pi /sup -/ and pi /sup 0/ produced in the deep-inelastic scattering of 27.5 GeV positrons on hydrogen are presented. The average charged pion multiplicity is the same as for neutral pions, up to z approximately= 0.7, where z is the fraction of the energy transferred in the scattering process carried by the pion. This result (below z approximately= 0.7) is consistent with isospin invariance. The total energy fraction associated with charged and neutral pions is 0.51 +or- 0.01(stat.) +or- 0.08 (syst.) and 0.26 +or- 0.01(stat.) +or- 0.04(syst.), respectively. For fixed z, the measured multiplicities depend on both the negative squared four momentum transfer Q/sup 2/ and the Bjorken variable x. The observed dependence on Q/sup 2/ agrees qualitatively with the expected behaviour based on NLO-QCD evolution, while the dependence on x is consistent with that of previous data after corrections have been made for the expected Q/sup 2/-dependence.
