Abstract
The shape of the invariant differential cross section for charged hadron production as a function of transverse momentum measured in various collider experiments is analyzed. Contrary to the behavior of produced charged kaons, protons, and antiprotons, the pion spectra require an anomalously high contribution of an exponential term to describe the shape.
