We use the tools of hybrid intranuclear-cascade/nuclear-deexcitation models to evaluate the sensitivity of several physical observables to the inclusion of a multifragmentation stage in the deexcitation chain and assess the need for a multifragmentation model in the quantitative description of p + 56Fe and p + 136Xe reactions at 1-GeV incident energy. We seek clear signatures of multifragmentation by comparing different state-of-the-art deexcitation models coupled with intranuclear-cascade models and by focusing on discriminating observables such as correlations and fragment longitudinal-velocity distributions. None of the considered observables can be unambiguously interpreted as a multifragmentation footprint. The experimental data are best described as originating from sequential binary decays. However, no deexcitation model can reproduce the experimental longitudinal-velocity distributions from 1-GeV p + 136Xe. © 2011 American Physical Society. [moins ▲]

Measurement and simulation of the cross sections for nuclide production in 56Fe and natCr targets irradiated with 0.04- to 2.6-GeV protons

The cross sections for nuclide production in thin 56Fe and natCr targets irradiated by 0.04-2.6-GeV protons are measured by direct γ spectrometry using two γ spectrometers with the resolutions of 1.8 and 1.7 keV for the 60Co 1332-keV γ line. As a result, 649 yields of radioactive residual product nuclei have been obtained. The 27Al(p, x) 22Na reaction has been used as a monitor reaction. The experimental data are compared with the MCNPX (BERTINI, ISABEL), CEM03. 02, INCL4. 2, INCL4. 5, PHITS, and CASCADE07 calculations. © 2011 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. [moins ▲]
