Bertini intra-nuclear cascade implementation in Geant4

TL;DR

This paper introduces a Bertini intra-nuclear cascade model integrated into Geant4 5.0, enabling detailed simulations of nuclear reactions at intermediate energies with various nuclear models and validation against experimental data.

Contribution

It re-engineers the INUCL code into Geant4, incorporating multiple nuclear reaction models for improved simulation accuracy at 100 MeV to 3 GeV energies.

Findings

Successful implementation of the cascade model in Geant4

Good agreement with experimental data

Enhanced simulation capabilities for nuclear reactions

Abstract

We present here a intra-nuclear cascade model implemented in Geant4 5.0. The cascade model is based on re-engineering of INUCL code. Models included are Bertini intra-nuclear cascade model with exitons, pre-equilibrium model, nucleus explosion model, fission model, and evaporation model. Intermediate energy nuclear reactions from 100 MeV to 3 GeV energy are treated for proton, neutron, pions, photon and nuclear isotopes. We represent overview of the models, review results achieved from simulations and make comparisons with experimental data.
