Particle ratios in inclusive electroproduction from hydrogen and deuterium

We present a high statistics study of particle ratios in electroproduction of forward hadrons. The π⁺/π^? ratios for a proton target rise monotonically to a value of 2.4 ± 0.2 at Q² of 3 (GeV/c)² and for a neutron target average 1.16 ± 0.04 from Q² of 0.35 to 3 (GeV/c)². We report the first data on electroproduction of $\text{p}$, and measure the cross sections of K^±, p, and $\text{p}$ relative to pions as a function of Q².
