The differential cross sections and the average energy loss of fast protons in the reactions p+/sup 3/H..-->..p/sub F/+X and p+/sup 3/He..-->..p/sub F/+X are investigated by means of a liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics of diameter 80 cm, exposed in a beam of 2.5 GeV/c tritium nuclei (primary-proton kinetic energy in the rest system of the nucleus T/sub p/ = 0.318 GeV) and in a beam of 5-GeV/c /sup 3/He nuclei (T/sub p/ = 0.978 GeV). The experimental results are compared with the predictions based on sum rules for differential cross sections and average energy loss in the Glauber-Sitenko theory of multiple scattering and with use of the completeness condition for the wave functions of the excited states of the nucleus and locality of the nuclear potential. Good agreement between the data and the theoretical predictions is observed at 2.5 GeV/c. A discrepancy between the Glauber sum-rule predictions and the data at 5 GeV/c is explained by the production of the ..delta.. isobar in the intermediate state. It is established that the possible admixture of six-quark bags in the nuclei /sup 3/H and /sup 3/He does not exceed 5%.
