We expose the current experimental and theoretical situation of the interesting case of the production of [Formula: see text] mesons in up to very high energy collisions of hadrons on both nucleon and nuclear targets, and we present a quantitatively good theoretical description of the corresponding experimental data, based on the formalism of the well established Quark–Gluon String Model, that has proved to be valid for a wide energy range. All the available experimental data for [Formula: see text]-meson production in hadron–nucleon collisions on the spectra of secondary [Formula: see text], and on the ratios of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] production cross-sections, as well the corresponding ones for [Formula: see text]-meson production on nuclear targets, are considered. In particular, it is seen that the production of [Formula: see text]-mesons on nuclear targets presents unusually small shadow corrections for the inclusive density in the central rapidity region.
