Abstract
The predictive power of the last version INCL4.6 of the Liege Intranuclear Cascade model for spallation is reviewed. The good results obtained both at low and high energy extend the domain of validity of the model and allow the description of spallation reactions, except the coherent processes, by a unique model from a few MeV to a few GeV incident energy.
Highlights
Spallation reactions are usually defined as the reactions induced by hadrons and/or light ions with an incident energy comprised between, say 100 MeV to 2 GeV
It is widely accepted that spallation reactions can be described by a two-step process: an intranuclear cascade stage emitting rapid particles, followed by the de-excitation of a target remnant
The second one is to show that the results obtained with this model, coupled to the ABLA07 de-excitation model[2], point towards the possibility of having a unified description of nuclear reactions induced by nucleons and light ions, extending from a few MeV to several GeV
Summary
Spallation reactions are usually defined as the reactions induced by hadrons and/or light ions with an incident energy comprised between, say 100 MeV to 2 GeV (per nucleon for incident light ions). It is widely accepted that spallation reactions can be described by a two-step process: an intranuclear cascade stage emitting rapid particles, followed by the de-excitation of a target remnant. The first one is to present the Liège intranuclear cascade (INCL4) model for spallation reactions, its latest developments and its predictive power.
