The proton inclusive spectra measured with 800 MeV/c ..pi../sup +/ beam (BNL) on light nuclei, and the 600 MeV/c /bar p/ beam (LEAR) on /sup 6/Li and /sup 63/Cu have been successfully interpreted in terms of the Intranuclear Cascade (INC) Model. According to the INC model predictions the /bar p/ induced reaction results in high pion yield for the light /sup 6/Li target case. This is attributed to the nonavailability of nucleons to be knocked out by the pions produced following the /bar p/ annihilation. While in this case of the heavier /sup 63/Cu target some of the internally produced pions are subsequently absorbed leading to thermal equilibrium of the nuclear medium, resulting in a softer proton spectrum at the high energy end. Based on the INC model predictions the K/sup +/ induced reactions could be studied to search for the ''true resonances'' beyond 1 GeV K/sup +/ energy. 10 refs., 5 figs.
