Comparative analysis of p,d,α-particle inelastic interactions with nuclei

The inelastic interactions of protons, deuterons and α-particles with photoemulsion nuclei at 3.6 GeV/nucleon are analyzed in the framework of the cascade evaporation model. The nucleus-target is considered as the Fermi gas of A nucleons with the density described by the oscillator model distribution for light nuclei and the Woods-Saxon density for heavy nuclei. The model satisfactorily describes the main experimental characteristics: multiplicities, angular and energy secondary particle distributions. The special attention is paid to the g-particle characteristics; in particular, the ''nuclear scaling'' of g protons flying into the backward semisphere is explained. Some discrepancies of the model with the experiment are observed only in details
