Abstract
Production of single mesons and opposite side pairs of mesons in hadron-nucleus and nucleusnucleus collisions are calculated in the framework of the QCD parton model, with the assumption that quarks and gluons undergo multiple scattering in the nucleus. A comparison with all available data is made. It is also shown that the anomalous nuclear enhancement, especially its dependence on the flavour, can be quantitatively described within the model. Furthermore, we predict no enhancement for symmetric pairs as it seems to be indicated by the data. Predictions for largep T production in α−α scattering at ISR are made.
