Abstract
The invariant cross sections for the cumulative production of protons, neutrons, and extremely light nuclei (d, 3H, and 3He) are determined on the basis of experimental data obtained by exposing the 2-m liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber of the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP, Moscow) to a 5-GeV/c α-particle beam, the kinetic energy of primary protons in the rest frame of the nucleus involved being T p = 620 MeV. The results obtained in this way are compared with the predictions of the Frankfurt-Strikman model, which takes into account short-range few-nucleon correlations, and with the predictions of the nuclear coalescence model.
