Invariant differential production cross sections for neutral pions and $\eta$ mesons in pp collision at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV as function of $\pt$ [56] together with fits using Eq.2 (left panel). Ratios of the measured $\pi^0$ and $\eta$ spectra to the fits (right panel). In both panels the error bars depict the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties of the neutral meson data.
