Event Generator Models in the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code System; PHITS

Journal article, 2011

We present the event generator rnodels incorporated in the particle and heavy ion transport code system PHITS. For the high energy nuclear reactions, we discuss the QMD model and the INC model followed by the statistical decay model. For low energy neutron transport by using the nuclear data, we propose a new model, in which we combine the evaluated nuclear data and the reaction models so as to describe all ejectiles of collision keeping the energy and momentum conservation. By this new model, we can estimate new quantities which are related to the higher order correlations beyond one-body observable, for an example, the deposit energy distribution in a cell, which cannot be obtained by the transport calculation based on the Boltzmann equation with the evaluated nuclear data.
