Differential angular and energy distributions have been measured for secondary protons producing black tracks in nuclear emulsion (E< or approx. =20 MeV) in disintegration of C, N, and O nuclei by protons of energy 660 and 340 MeV. In the angular distributions of secondary protons with energy up to 10 MeV, quasielastic peaks are observed in the region of angles 70/sup 0/<120/sup 0/ in an isotropic background of protons of evaporative origin. The significant fraction of protons from quasielastic knockout among the slow evaporative particles is explained by direct Coulomb knockout of these particles by high-energy protons and also by the tranparency of finite Fermi systems for slow recoil protons as a result of the Pauli principle.
