A study of the ''young'' states of particles in p-, d-, and α-nuclei interactions

Experimental data on leading particle generation in p-, d- and α-nuclei interactions are compared with calculations within the framework of a simple classical model of scattering. Data show that deuterons and α-particles in inelastic interactions retain their individuality in some case, even after loosing from 10 to 30% of their energy and scattering on considerable angles. Comparison between the experimental data and the calculations made in terms of simplified model shows, that there exists a sufficiently high probability for 8.4 GeV/c deuterons and 16.8 GeV/c α-particles to undergo more than one interaction in the same nuclei
