New approach for describing nuclear reactions based on intra-nuclear cascade coupled with DWBA

We proposed a new nuclear reaction model in combination of Intra-Nuclear Cascade of Liege (INCL) and the Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) calculation, and incorporated it into the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS). This model was applied to deuteron induced reactions on nat Li and 9 Be targets for deuteron incident energies of 40 and 18 MeV, respectively. Double-differential cross sections and neutron yields on thick targets obtained by PHITS using the model reproduce experimental data quite well.
