New Features of the Incl4 Model for Spallation Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The standard version (INCL4.2) of the Liège Intra-nuclear Cascade model for spallation reactions has been shown to reproduce reasonably well a large set of experimental data, when coupled to the standard ABLA model. However, some systematic deficiencies were surviving. In order to reduce the latter, an improved model (INCL4.5) has been worked out. The improvements of the model are described here for the first time. They involve in particular the production of composite particles in the cascade and the behaviour of the model at low incident energy. Typical results are shown and discussed.

Improvements of Intra-Nuclear Cascade model stimulated by recent spallation data
In high-energy transport codes used to design Accelerator Driven Systems or spallation neutron sources, elementary interactions are computed through nuclear physics models. Among these, Intra-Nuclear Cascade models play a major role since the excitation energy at the end of the INC stage determines the number of evaporated particles. Therefore, in simulation of spallation targets, INC influence...
متن کاملImproved modelling of helium and tritium production for spallation targets
Reliable predictions of light charged particle production in spallation reactions are important to correctly assess gas production in spallation targets. In particular, the helium production yield is important for assessing damage in the window separating the accelerator vacuum from a spallation target, and tritium is a major contributor to the target radioactivity. Up to now, the models availa...

متن کاملCosmic Ray Models for Early Galactic Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron Production
To understand better the early galactic production of Li, Be, and B by cosmic ray spallation and fusion reactions, the dependence of these production rates on cosmic ray models and model parameters is examined. The sensitivity of elemental and isotopic production to the cosmic ray pathlength magnitude and energy dependence, source spectrum, spallation kinematics, and cross section uncertainties...
متن کاملSpallation reactions – physics and applications
Spallation reactions have become an ideal tool for studying the equation of state and thermal instabilities of nuclear matter. In astrophysics, the interactions of cosmic rays with the interstellar medium have to be understood in detail for deducing their original composition and their production mechanisms. Renewed interest in spallation reactions with protons around 1 GeV came up recently wit...
