Extension of the Liège Intra
Nuclear Cascade model
to light ion-induced collisions for medical and space
applications, S. Leray, CEA/Saclay, IRFU/SPhN,France
− The Liège Intranuclear Cascade
model, INCL4, has
been developed to describe spallation reactions, i.e. nucleon and
light charged
particle induced collisions in the 100 MeV – 3 GeV energy range.
Extensive
comparisons with experimental data covering all possible reaction
channels have
shown that, coupled to the ABLA07 de-excitation code from GSI, it
is presently
one of the most reliable models in its domain.Recently, the model has been extended to light ion (up to
Oxygen)
induced reactions, mostly for medical and space application
purposes. This
version is available in GEANT4. The first
results indicate that the model agrees at least as well as other
models with
experimental data. In
this paper, the
different assumptions and ingredients of the model will be
presented and
comparisons with relevant experimental data will be shown.The sensitivity to the
de-excitation stage
will also be discussed.
