Deuteron-induced nonelastic cross sections based on the intranuclear cascade model with independent incident particles under interaction potentials

Deuteron-induced nonelastic cross sections are studied in an extended intranuclear cascade (INC) model. A three-body framework of proton, neutron, and target is introduced into the INC model to incorporate naturally the decomposition and capture reactions from weakly bound deuterons. This framework includes three types of interaction potential, namely proton-target, neutron-target, and proton-neutron, the last of which causes the two nucleons in the deuteron to oscillate and play an important role in its breakup. The calculated results reproduce well the experimental data for C, Ca, Ni, and Pb targets with almost the same parameters as those determined previously for nucleon-induced nonelastic reactions.
