We compared the invariant cross sections for pion production by a 14.6 GeV/c proton beam on Be, Al, Cu and Au targets from the measurements of Abbott et.al. with predictions of the ARC program. The agreement was found to be good in the region where data exists. Most pions are found at low momenta in the lab frame. Unfortunately very little data exists for low momentum pions
