Effects of Nucleon-Pair Correlations on Monte Carlo Intranuclear-Cascade Simulations

Abstract
The effects of short-range nucleon correlations have been included in intranuclear-cascade calculations in an approximate manner. Comparisons are made with earlier calculations and with experiments. The agreement with experimental data on spallation reactions and spectra of emitted protons is systematically improved when the nucleon-correlation effect is included, along with refraction and reflection at potential boundaries and with a velocity-dependent potential.
