Invariant cross sections were measured at 119/sup 0/ for cumulative production of deuterons and tritons on Be, Al, Cu, Ta nuclei bombarded by protons with energy 10.14 GeV in the previously unstudied range 0.6--1.83 GeV/c of secondary particle momenta. It is shown that invariant cross sections for production of deuterons and tritons from heavy nuclei are well described by the coalescence model. For cross sections for production of deuterons with momenta less than 0.6 GeVxc/sup -1/xnucleon/sup -1/ from Be nuclei, a contribution from some other mechansim (possibly pickup) was observed.
