In the effect assessment on healthy cells in particle therapy, the charged particle emission spectra from nuclear reactions on light element (e.g., C, N, O) constituting a living body are important as fundamental data. Unlike medium-heavy nuclei, nuclear reactions on light nuclei can cause particle emission from a discrete state of residual nuclei. The effect of this emission process on the spectra is analyzed using the nuclear reaction code CCONE, taking the C+p reaction as an example. As a result, the reproducibility the experimental proton and alpha-particle emission spectra is largely improved by considering particle emission from discrete states of residual nuclei. This result indicates that it is important to consider particle emission from discrete states of residual nuclei in the calculation of particle emission spectra from nuclear reactions on light nuclei.
