“…Several important modifications have been implemented in the RQMD code, in order to ensure energy-momentum conservation taking into account experimental binding energies, and to provide meaningful excitation energies for the residual fragments. The results of this modified model in the energy range of interest for the applications described here can be found in Andersen et al (2004) and Fassò et al (2003).…”

“…In the recent years, FLUKA has been successfully extended (Andersen et al, 2004) to nucleus-nucleus collisions. The DPMJET (Ranft, 1995;Roesler et al, 2001) code has been interfaced to cover the high (>5 GeV/n) energy range, and an extensively modified version of the RQMD-2.4 code (Sorge et al, 1989a,b;Sorge, 1995) is used at lower energies.…”

The modeling of ion transport and interactions in matter is a subject of growing interest, driven by the continuous increase of possible application fields. These include hadron therapy, dosimetry, and space missions, but there are also several issues involving fundamental research, accelerator physics, and cosmic ray physics, where a reliable description of heavy ion induced cascades is important.In the present work, the capabilities of the FLUKA code for ion beams will be briefly recalled and some recent developments presented. Applications of the code to the simulation of therapeutic carbon, nitrogen and oxygen ion beams, and of iron beams, which are of direct interest for space mission related experiments, will be also presented together with interesting consideration relative to the evaluation of dosimetric quantities. Both applications involve ion beams in the AGeV range. Ó 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of COSPAR.

“…The extension from hadron-nucleon to hadron-nucleus interactions is done in the framework of the preequilibrium approach to nuclear thermalization (PEANUT) model [27,28], including the Gribov-Glauber multicollision mechanism followed by the preequilibrium stage and eventually equilibrium processes (evaporation, fission, Fermi breakup, and gamma deexcitation). In case of nucleus-nucleus interactions (in the present work involving alpha projectiles), DPMJET-III [29] and a modified version [30] of RQMD [31][32][33] [8,9], and a description of hadronic interaction models used in FLUKA can be found in Ref. [34].…”

We have measured the gamma-ray emission spectrum of the Moon using the data collected by the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi satellite during its first seven years of operation, in the energy range from 30 MeV up to a few GeV. We have also studied the time evolution of the flux, finding a correlation with the solar activity. We have developed a full Monte Carlo simulation describing the interactions of cosmic rays with the lunar surface. The results of the present analysis can be explained in the framework of this model, where the production of gamma rays is due to the interactions of cosmic-ray proton and helium nuclei with the surface of the Moon. Finally, we have used our simulation to derive the cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra near Earth from the Moon gamma-ray data.

“…In particular, the latter modules used a simplified implementation of intranuclear cascades in interactions at energies above 5 GeV which has now become obsolete. Only hadron-nucleus interactions beyond 20 TeV and nucleus-nucleus collisions involve independent codes (DPMJET [7], RQMD [8], BME [9]). However, all are coupled to PEANUT for evaporation and fragment de-excitation.…”

Abstract. An overview is given of the models implemented in FLUKA which describe the production of radionuclides. Cross sections are calculated for hadron-induced reactions on materials used in the construction of accelerators from threshold up to energies of several TeV. The results form a database which is validated against experimental data. Dedicated activation measurements performed at an high-energy hadron accelerator complement the verification and confirm the accuracy of the FLUKA predictions. Finally, the importance of such a database is underlined with examples from radiological studies performed for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
