Comparison of nuclear transport models with 800A-MeV La + La data.

Abstract

Nuclear transport models including density- and momentum-dependent mean-field effects are compared to intranuclear-cascade models and tested on recent data on inclusive p-like cross sections for 800A-MeV La+La. We find a remarkable agreement between most model calculations but a systematic disagreement with the measured yield at 20/sup 0/, possibly indicating a need for modification of nuclear transport properties at high densities.
