In this paper, the transverse momentum and maximum transverse momentum distributions of protons and pions produced in an event for CC collisions at 4.2 A GeV/c have been analyzed. This analysis is based on experimental data obtained from 2 m propane bubble chamber at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia and simulation data obtained from Dubna cascade code. We observed three disparate zones for the transverse momentum distribution of the produced particles. The third zone where transverse momentum is greater than 0.375 GeV/c is restricted only for pions with transverse momentum approximately equal to 1 GeV/c, and for protons the restricted value of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]1.5 GeV/c. So contribution of pions to this region is less and decreases sharply than the contribution of protons. The results of cascade model are not fully compatible with the experimental results in the third [Formula: see text] region, as this region contains less number of particles for model data as compared with experimental data but is compatible in the case of [Formula: see text].
