Analysis of Intermediate-Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Spallation, Fission, and Fragmentation Reactions with the LAQGSM code

The LAQGSM code has been recently developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory to simulate nuclear reactions for proton radiography applications. We have benchmarked our code against most available measured data both for proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions at incident 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 code and show illustrative results obtained with LAQGSM for neutron spectra measured recently by Nakamura's groups for reactions induced by light and medium nuclei on targets from C to Pb at several incident energies from 95 to 600 MeV/nucleon and with the recent GSI measurements of spallation, fission, and fragmentation yields from A+p and A+A reactions at incident energies near and below 1 GeV/nucleon. Further necessary work is outlined.
