“…In the published data in Refs. [2,3], not only the cross section, but energy also has errors and this error exceeds more than 50MeV for protons at E p ∼ 200MeV . The error becomes smaller when the mass of the ejectiles becomes larger, as seen in the plots of Refs.…”

“…Angular distributions and energy spectra of ejectiles were compared with the reaction models embedded in the GEANT4 Monte Carlo toolkit [2]. In that comparisons, none of the toolkits provides good enough reproduction of the experimental data, especially for those from the intermediate velocity source.…”

Nuclear stopping and light charged particle emission in C12+C12 at 95 MeV/nucleon

et al. 2017

Detailed comparisons between the experimental data of 12 C + 12 C at 95 A MeV and transport model simulations are presented for all charged particles and fragments. For the simulations, AMD, a modified version of AMD (AMD-FM), and CoMD, are used. The experimental energy spectra and angular distributions are well reproduced by the AMD-FM calculations for light charged particles with Z ≤ 2. We show that the nuclear stopping plays a key role for these observables. The production mechanisms of LCPs are discussed. The angular distributions of isotopes with Z > 2 are qualitatively reproduced reasonably well, but the yields are 2 − 10 times smaller in the simulations for most isotopes.

Extension of the Liège intranuclear-cascade model to reactions induced by light nuclei

et al. 2014

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we present the extension of the Liège intranuclear-cascade model to reactions induced by light ions. We describe here the ideas upon which we built our treatment of nucleus-nucleus reactions and we compare the model predictions against a vast set of heterogeneous experimental data. In spite of the discussed limitations of the intranuclear-cascade scheme, we find that our model yields valid predictions for a number of observables and positions itself as one of the most attractive alternatives available to GEANT4 users for the simulation of light-ion-induced reactions. Second, we describe the C++ version of the code, which is physicswise equivalent to the legacy version, is available in GEANT4, and will serve as the basis for all future development of the model.

“…One of the QMD models, JAERI-QMD (JQMD) [3] was developed as an event generator for general purpose radiation transport code PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System) [4] and widely used to simulate nucleus-nucleus collision (e.g., [5,6]). However, it was suggested that QMD models overestimated the width of the fragment angular distributions [7,8] and underestimated production at the forward angle. This trend was probably attributed to inaccurate treatment of peripheral collisions, in which projectiles are little deflected and therefore fragments are ejected in the forward angle.…”

To predict angular distribution of fragments produced in nucleusnucleus collisions, JAERI quantum molecular dynamics model (JQMD) was improved. Because JQMD underestimated fragments in the forward angle, which were mainly produced by peripheral collisions, JQMD was revised so as to simulate peripheral collisions accurately. Density-dependent in-medium effect and relativistic effect on nucleonnucleon interactions were incorporated for this purpose. The revised version of JQMD coupled with a statistical decay model was used to calculate differential fragment production cross sections measured in earlier studies. Comparison of the measured data and calculation by the revised and old JQMD showed that the revised JQMD can predict fragment angular distribution better than old JQMD. Particularly, agreement of fragment yield in the forward angle is substantially improved.

Benchmarking geant4 nuclear models for hadron therapy with 95 MeV/nucleon carbon ions

Abstract: In carbon-therapy, the interaction of the incoming beam with human tissues may lead to the production of a large amount of nuclear fragments and secondary light particles.
