Description

We use the quark recombination model of Das and Hwa to predict the inclusive meson spectra (π+,π-,K+,K-) in the target fragmentation region for processes in which a large transverse momentum jet is produced by a nearly real photon. We find that the antiparticle ratios of such target jet mesons are sensitive to the type of process which has produced the large psub(t) jet. By comparing the ratios found in photoproduction to those in deep inelastic scattering we point out that it is in principle possible to identify the presence of the Bethe-Heitler photoproduction subprocess. We conclude that the target jet remnants can contribute to separating the subprocesses responsible for the photoproduction of large psub(t) jets. (orig.)
