The formation of Na/sup 24/ and P/sup 32/ by the interaction of high- energy protons with Cu, La, Au, and Th was investigated. The dependence of the yields of Na/sup 24/ and P/sup 32/ on proton energy was studied radiochemically. Yields rise considerably with increase of the proton energy from 120 to 660 Mev and depend markedly on the atomic number of the target element. The calculated formation thresholds for Na/sup 24/and P/sup 32/ in spallation and fission are compared with the experimental values showing that in Cu, La, and Au these two nuclei are formed mainly by strongly asymmetric fission. Formation of P/sup 32/ from Cu is an exception, being due to spallation, and this process is also important in the formation of Na/sup 24/ from Cu. (auth)
