چکیده

We introduce a new implementation of the Liège cascade INCL4.2 and of the evaporation/fission code ABLA v3 in Geant4. INCL treats the cascade of hadron, deuterium, tritium, and helium projectiles of energies up to 3 GeV, while ABLA, based on evaporation and fission, provides a treatment of the excited nucleus produced at the end of the cascade. Details of the implementation of INCL and ABLA in the Geant4 9.1 release are presented and C++ performance is compared with the original FORTRAN implementation. A test suite for validating the code translation is based on ROOT software, and we report on advanced features of our testing environment, including scripting and automatic documentation. In addition, we introduce a Geant4 application using INCL and ABLA models, demonstrating the physics performance and enabling comparisons against another Geant4 intermediate energy hadronic model, the Bertini cascade. Finally we outline the future development of the Liège cascade, INCL5, in the context of the Geant4 hadronic physics framework.

INCL Intra-nuclear Cascade and ABLA De-excitation Models in Geant4

We present INCL intra-nuclear cascade and ABLA de-excitation (evaporation/fission) models that can be used to calculate collisions between projectile particles and nuclei at energies from 0.2 to 3 GeV. Supported projectiles are proton, neutron, pions and light ions up to alpha. The optimal target materials range from carbon to uranium. We have extended the INCL model light ion projectile suppor...

A Geant4 physics list for spallation and related nuclear physics applications based on INCL and ABLA models

A new Geant4 physics list is prepared for nuclear physics applications in the domain dominated by spallation. The C++ translation of original Fortran INCL intra-nuclear cascade and ABLA fission/de-excitation codes are used in the physics list. The INCL model prepared is well established for targets heavier than Aluminium and projectile energies from ∼ 150 MeV up to 2.5 GeV ∼ 3 GeV. Validity of ...

The response of Geant4 hadronic models to the study of neutrons produced in proton irradiation to the light materials

Neutron is one of the products of the interaction of high energy protons with light nuclei. Using computational Monte Carlo codes, it is possible to calculate and predict the neutron spectrum, neutron flux, and doses by simulating the system. But the use of different hadronic models in this process can influence the results of these calculations. In this research, the response of the four hadro...
