Abstract
The data on the $A$ dependence of low-energy meson production by protons on heavy nuclei are explained by taking into account the following effects: (1) the energy degeneration of the incident proton in nuclear matter, which tends to make meson production possible only in the "front" of the struck nucleus; (2) the subsequent re-absorption of the meson by the nuclear matter it traverses. This last effect is further strengthened by the reflectivity of the Coulomb barrier.
