Abstract
Abstract Over the past 60 years a rich sample of experimental results concerning the inclusive production of $$\pi ^-$$ π - mesons has been obtained spanning a range from about 3 GeV to 13 TeV in interaction energy. This paper attempts a model-independent overview of these results with the aim at obtaining an internally consistent data description on a dense grid over the three inclusive variables transverse momentum, rapidity or Feynman $$x_F$$ x F and interaction energy. The study concentrates on the non-perturbative sector of the strong interaction by limiting the transverse momenta to $$p_T
