The contribution of possible intranuclear secondary processes (interactions of secondary mesons with nucleons and few-nucleon systems, interactions of Δ-resonances with nucleons) to cumulative proton production in π − c interactions at 5 GeV/ c is studied. It has been found that the contribution of secondary processes makes nearly half of the inclusive cross section of cumulative proton production at momenta p p ⩽ 0.75 GeV/ c .
