Nuclear interactions of 9 Bev protons with emulsion nuclei were investigated. A composite nuclear interaction model was induced from the individual events, and the angular and energy distribution of identified shower particles were measured. From these data the mean value of the inelasticity coefficient and the mean number of nucleons struck in a proton- nucleus collision were calculated for an "average" emulsion nucleus. It was shown by comparing the results with those found for nucleon-nucleon coilision at 6.2 Bev that the nucleon-nucleus interaction is better described at these energies by the cascade model than by the tunnel model. From this result the mean life of the excited state of a colliding nucleon-nucleon system was estimated to be less than 3 10/sup -23/ sec. (auth)
