ON THE NATURE OF NUCLEAR SCALING OF CUMULATIVE HADRON SPECTRA IN HADRON-NUCLEAR INTERACTIONS

An interpretation is given for the nuclear scaling of cumulative hadro n spectra that provides an understanding of its nature and universalit y. A simple explanation is presented for the well-known remarkable fac t: the spectra of cumulative protons also obey the nuclear scaling tho ugh their sources strongly differ from sources of mesons and antiproto ns in physical parameters. This explanation has been found by analysin g the channel of cumulative production of hadrons in the framework of the gluon-dominance model elaborated for describing the multihadron pr oduction.
