Abstract
One- and two-proton inclusive spectra have been measured in collisions of 800 MeV protons with C, NaF, KCl, Cu, and Pb targets. The single proton inclusive yield increases monotonically with target mass, while the two-proton yield at θ lab = ±40° associated with pp quasi-elastic scatterings shows a maximum at a mass number of about 50. A model calculation reproduces the observed target mass dependence with a mean free path of ≈2.4 fm for 800 MeV protons inside the nucleus.
