Abstract
The large-momentum-transfer inclusive cross section for production of pions, protons, and kaons from nulcei is discussed in the framework of a multiple-scattering theory. We find that the dependence seen in recent experiments can be explained by considering higher-order large-momentum-transfer reactions between the projectile and the nucleons. The theory has one parameter, which can be interpreted as the value of of at which the exponential falloff of the elementary cross section changes to a more-slowly-falling form. It is found that the data can be fitted with first- and second-order terms only.
