In order to investigate relativistic effects we compare the transverse flow calculated by using the four versions of the QMD approaches with that of the full covariant RQMD approach. From the comparison we conclude that the simplified RQMD (RQMD/S), which uses the common time coordinate to all particles, can be used instead of RQMD up to 6 GeV/u.
The preequilibrium (nucleon-in, nucleon-out) angular distributions of $^{27}$Al, $^{58}$Ni and $^{90}$Zr have been analyzed in the energy region from 90 to 200 MeV in terms of the Quantum Moleculear Dynamics (QMD) theory. First, we show that the present approach can reproduce the measured (p,xp') and (p,xn) angular distributions leading to continuous final states without adjusing any parameters. Second, we show the results of the detailed study of the preequilibrium reaction processes; the step-wise contribution to the angular distribution, comparison with the quantum-mechanical Feshbach-Kerman-Koonin theory, the effects of momentum distribution and surface refraction/reflection to the quasifree scattering. Finally, the present method was used to assess the importance of multiple preequilibrium particle emission as a function of projectile energy up to 1 GeV.
We propose a model based on quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) incorporated with statistical decay model (SDM) to describe various nuclear reactions in an unified way. In this first part of the work, the basic ingredients of the model are defined and the model is applied systematically to the nucleon($N$)-induced reactions. It has been found that our model can give a remarkable agreement in the energy-angle double differential cross sections of $(N,xN')$ type reactions for incident energies from 100 MeV to 3 GeV with a fixed parameter set. An unified description of the major three reaction mechanisms of $(N,xN')$ reactions, i.e. compound, pre-equilibrium and spallation processes, is given with our model.
