Implementation of INCL4 cascade and ABLA evaporation codes in Geant4

چکیده
We introduce a new implementation of the Liège cascade INCL4.2 and of the evaporation/fission code ABLA-V3 in Geant4. INCL treats the cascade of hadron, deuterium, tritium, and helium projectiles of energies up to 3 GeV, while ABLA, based on evaporation and fission, provides a treatment of the excited nucleus produced at the end of the cascade. Details of the implementation of INCL and ABLA in the Geant4 9.1 release are presented and C++ performance is compared with the original FORTRAN implementation. A test suite for validating the code translation is based on ROOT software, and we report on advanced features of our testing environment, including scripting and automatic documentation features. In addition, we introduce a Geant4 application using INCL and ABLA models, demonstrating the physics performance and enabling comparisons against another Geant4 intermediate energy hadronic model, the Bertini cascade. Finally we outline the future development of the Liège cascade, INCL5, in the context of the Geant4 hadronic physics framework.

متن کاملINCL Intra-nuclear Cascade and ABLA De-excitation Models in Geant4
We present INCL intra-nuclear cascade and ABLA de-excitation (evaporation/fission) models that can be used to calculate collisions between projectile particles and nuclei at energies from 0.2 to 3 GeV. Supported projectiles are proton, neutron, pions and light ions up to alpha. The optimal target materials range from carbon to uranium. We have extended the INCL model light ion projectile suppor...
متن کاملA Geant4 physics list for spallation and related nuclear physics applications based on INCL and ABLA models
A new Geant4 physics list is prepared for nuclear physics applications in the domain dominated by spallation. The C++ translation of original Fortran INCL intra-nuclear cascade and ABLA fission/de-excitation codes are used in the physics list. The INCL model prepared is well established for targets heavier than Aluminium and projectile energies from ∼ 150 MeV up to 2.5 GeV ∼ 3 GeV. Validity of ...
متن کاملGEANT4 Validation Studies at the ISIS Muon Facility
GEANT4 provides an extensive set of alternative hadronic models. Simulations of the ISIS muon production using three such models applicable in the energy range of interest are presented in this paper and compared with the experimental data. INTRODUCTION The Monte Carlo particle transport code Geant4 [1] represents a powerful tool for simulating the passage of particles through matter. The simul...
متن کاملImproved modelling of helium and tritium production for spallation targets
Reliable predictions of light charged particle production in spallation reactions are important to correctly assess gas production in spallation targets. In particular, the helium production yield is important for assessing damage in the window separating the accelerator vacuum from a spallation target, and tritium is a major contributor to the target radioactivity. Up to now, the models availa...
