The recently proposed space-time model, the modified cascade model, for hadron-nucleus collisions is investigated further and also extended to apply to photon and lepton nucleus collisions. Dependences of the multiplicity on incident particle, nucleus, rapidity, and energy, as well as the A dependences of the total inelastic cross sections, are calculated, with the model's only free parameter fixed by a normalization as determined previously. Results are compared and found to be in agreement with published experimental data from p, ..pi.., K, ..mu.., and ..nu.. nucleus collisions. Several representative predictions of the model are also presented. 29 references.
