Heavy-ion collisions described by a new QMD code interfaced to FLUKA: model validation by comparisons with experimental data concerning neutron and charged fragment production

摘要

A new code, based on the Quantum Molecular Dynamics theoretical approach, hasbeen developed and interfaced to the FLUKA evaporation/fission/Fermi break-upmodule. At present, this code is undergoing a series of validation tests. Inthis paper its predictions are compared to measured charged fragment yields anddouble differential neutron spectra in thin target heavy-ion reactions, atbombarding energies of about 100 MeV/A. The comparisons with the predictions ofa modified version of RQMD 2.4 originally developed in Frankfurt, alreadyavailable in the FLUKA code, are presented and potential improvements arebriefly sketched.
