Abstract

The recent developments of the Liège intranuclear cascade model INCL are reviewed. The INCL4.6 version of this model was able when coupled with the ABLA07 de-excitation code, to describe rather well a huge set of experimental data in an incident energy range spanning between 200 MeV and 3 GeV, as it has been testified by an intercomparison of spallation codes organized by the IAEA. Since that time, the model has been implemented in several nuclear particle transport codes. Therefore, the possible applications of INCL have been enlarged to focus on diverse fields, and in the recent years, the model has been further developed to be applicable to these new issues and also to cope with remaining deficiencies. The new features include: i) a sophisticated dynamical model for light cluster emission (up to O ions), ii) the accommodation of light nuclei as projectiles, iii) a new procedure to take account of the fuzziness of the Fermi surface, and iv) an extension of the model to higher energy. The aim of this contribution is to present for the first time and to discuss the physics of the added features, and to give a hint about the performances of the new model.
