Abstract
We have developed a high-energy particle transport code NMTC/JAM, which is an upgraded version of NMTC/JAER197. The applicable energy range of NMTC/JA M is extended in principle up to 200 GeV for nucleons and mesons by introdu cing the high-energy nuclear reaction code JAM for the intra-nuclear cascad e part. We compare the calculations by NMTC/JAM code with the experimental data of thin and thick targets for proton-induced reactions up to several t ens of GeV. The results of the NMTC/JAM code show excellent agreement with the experimental data. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
