Inelastic p-n interactions recorded in emulsion irradiated by a proton beam were analyzed for the purpose of identifying secondary charged particles. The largest angular asymmetry was previously observed in the distribution of secondary changed particles from three-prong interactions. The characteristics of the asymmetry are dsscribed. Soondary charged particles were identified in 22 out of 72 recorded three-prong events. The angular distribution of the secondary charged particles in the center of mass system indicates a noticeable forward asymmetry. The magnitude of the asymmetry, determined by the ratio DELTA = SIGMA (n/sub f/n/sub b//N (where the n/sub f/ and n/sub b/ are the number of particles emitted forward and backward in the center of mass system; N is the number of interactions), is 0.55 plus or minus 0.24, which is smaller than ths magnitude quoted in the literature. The plotted angular distribution of protons and mesons in the center of mass system is nearly symmetric for protons, while for pi mesons it is asymmetric. This contradicts a previous postulation on the influence of protons on the angular asymmetry of secondary charged particles in p- n interactions. The mean proton and pi -meson energies were found to be E-bar/ sub p/ = 1.303 plus or minus 0.043 and E-bar/sub i= 0.436 plus or minus 0.030 Rev; the mean magnitude of transverse pulses for protons and pi mesons was P-bar/sub p/= 0.244 plus or minus 0.032 Bev/c and P pi = 0.158 plus or minus 0.022 Bev/c.
