The differential distribution function f (p/sub F/) for the Fermi momenta p/sub F/ of the nucleons within the xenon nucleus has been estimated on the basis of measured energies and emission angles of protons from the reactions ..pi../sup +/+Xe..-->..p+..pi../sup 0/+A/sup prime/ and ..pi../sup +/+Xe..-->..p+..pi../sup +/+A/sup prime/ at 2.34 GeV/c. The distribution function f (p/sub F/) can be satisfactorily fitted by a Fermi distribution b)1+exp((p/sub F/-c)/a))/sup -1/ in the region p/sub F/< or approx. =500 MeV/c, but in the region p/sub F/>500 MeV/c it falls off more slowly with increasing p/sub F/ than either the Fermi or the normal distribution.
