CEM2k and LAQGSM as Event Generators for Space-Radiation-Shielding and Cosmic-Ray-Propagation Applications
arXiv:nucl-th/0210065 · doi:10.1016/j.asr.2003.08.057
Abstract
The CEM2k and LAQGSM codes have been recently developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory to simulate nuclear reactions for a number of applications. We have benchmarked our codes against most available measured data at incident particle energies from 10 MeV to 800 GeV and have compared our results with predictions of other current models used by the nuclear community. Here, we present a brief description of our codes and show illustrative results to show that CEM2k and LAQGSM can be used as reliable event generators for space-radiation-shielding, cosmic-ray-propagation, and other astrophysical applications. Finally, we show the use of our calculated cross sections together with experimental data from our LANL T-16 compilation to produce evaluated files which we use in the GALPROP model of galactic particle propagation to better constrain the size of the CR halo.
