A quantum Monte Carlo based approach to intranuclear cascades
2020
We propose a novel approach to intranuclear cascades which takes as input quantum MonteCarlo nuclear configurations and uses a semi-classical, impact-parameter based algorithm to modelthe propagation of protons and neutrons in the nuclear medium. We successfully compare oursimulations to available proton-carbon scattering data and nuclear-transparency measurements. Byanalyzing the dependence of the simulated observables upon the ingredients entering our intranuclearcascade algorithm, we provide a quantitative understanding of their impact. Particular emphasisis devoted to the role played by nuclear correlations, the Pauli exclusion principle, and interactionprobability distributions.
