A new method is described for studying the "subthreshold" production of К + mesons. The//+ mesons from the К + mesons stopped in the target are detected, and the microstructure of the proton beam is used. The total cross sections for К + production have been mesured for the interaction of 1-GeV protons with Be, С, Al, Cu, Sn, and Pb nuclei.
