Interactions of 200-GeV/c protons on hydrogen, neon, argon, and xenon were studied with a streamer-chamber spectrometer. The number of projectile collisions inside the nucleus and the number of secondary collisions in the intranuclear cascade were estimated. The dependence of multiplicity and rapidity distributions on the number of projectile collisions was analyzed. The predictions of the additive quark model were found to be in qualitative agreement with the results of the experiment.
