Nuclear Fragmentation Model Evaluation

ORAL

Abstract

The semiempirical nuclear abrasion-ablation model NUCFRG2 was recently updated to include the qualitative even-odd effect for fragment charge production seen in experiments and the addition of alpha cluster knockout. In this talk, we present a comparison of the updated NUCFRG2 model cross sections with recent experimental cross sections and give a discussion of the results.
