Effects of the magnetic field on the spallation reaction implemented by BUU coupled with a phase-space coalescence afterburner

Abstract

Based on the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) transport model coupled with a phase-space coalescence afterburner, spallation reaction of $p{+}^{197}Au$ at the incident beam energy of E${}_{beam}$= 800 MeV/nucleon is studied. We find that the number of test particles per nucleon has minor effects on the neutron to proton ratio (n/p) of the produced heavier fragments while it affects much on their yields. The external strong magnetic field affects the production of heavier fragments much than the n/p of produced fragments. The n/p of free nucleons is greatly affected by the strong magnetic field, especially for the nucleons with lower energies.
