The energy spectra of the protons emitted in the interactions ..pi../sup +/+Xe..-->..kp+ ... at 2.34 GeV/c for k=1 to 10 are analyzed. It is observed that the slope parameer epsilon/sub 0/ of the function E/sub t/(d/sup 3/sigma/dp/sup 3/) approx. a exp (-E/sub k//epsilon/sub 0/), that approximates the relativistically invariant backward proton-emission cross section, depends on the number of emitted protons and does not depend on their emission angle (E/sub t/ is the total proton energy). Results are also presented of an analysis of analogous characteristics of forward-emitted protons of intermediate kinetic energy, E/sub k/=30 to 210 MeV. It is observed in particular that the emission cross section of these protons is satisfactorily described by the same exponential function.
