TL;DR
This study compares experimental data on inclusive particle production in 14.6 GeV/c proton-nucleus collisions with simulations from GEANT3, GEANT4, and FLUKA, finding FLUKA to be most accurate.
Contribution
It provides a detailed comparison of experimental results with multiple simulation packages, highlighting FLUKA's superior performance.
Findings
FLUKA shows the best overall agreement with experimental data.
GEANT3 and GEANT4 have less accurate predictions.
The study guides future simulation choices for similar experiments.
Abstract
Inclusive charged pion, kaon, proton, and deuteron production in 14.6 GeV/c proton-nucleus collisions measured by BNL experiment E802 is compared with results from the GEANT3, GEANT4, and FLUKA simulation packages. The FLUKA package is found to have the best overall agreement.
