Fragmentation calculation by intranuclear-cascade-evaporation code

High Energy Transport Code (HETC) based on the intranuclear-cascade-evaporation model is modified for calculating the fragmentation cross section. For the intranuclear-cascade process, nucleon-nucleon cross sections are used for collision computation; effective in-medium-corrected cross sections are adopted instead of the original free-nucleon collision. The exciton model is adopted for improvement of backward nucleon-emission cross section for low-energy nucleon-incident events. The fragmentation reaction is incorporated into the original HETC as a subroutine set by the use of the systematics of the reaction. The modified HETC (HETC-3STEP/FRG) reproduces experimental fragment yields to a reasonable degree. (author)
