The large-momentum-transfer inclusive cross section for production of pions, protons, and kaons from nulcei is discussed in the framework of a multiple-scattering theory. We find that the A dependence seen in recent experiments can be explained by considering higher-order large-momentum-transfer reactions between the projectile and the nucleons. The theory has one parameter, which can be interpreted as the value of of p/sub perpendicular/ at which the exponential falloff of the elementary cross section changes to a more-slowly-falling form. It is found that the data can be with fitted first- and second-order terms only.
