Abstract The dynamics of QCD evolution at low values of Bjorken-x is studied via the measurement of hard pi^0 probes in deeply inelastic positron proton scattering with the H1 experiment. The pi^0 mesons are measured in a region of small angles with respect to the proton remnant in the laboratory frame, the so-called forward region. Differential cross sections for inclusive pi^0 meson production are presented as a function of Bjorken-x and pi^0 transverse momentum, in different regions of the four momentum transfer Q^2. The accompanying transverse energy flow around the pi^0 is also studied. The data are used to discriminate between different QCD evolution schemes for the parton ladder between proton and photon.
