Abstract

Intermediate energy proton-induced spallation reactions with various targets are studied by the improved quantum molecular dynamics (ImQMD05) model incorporated with the statistical decay model. The influences of the different Skyrme interactions on the mechanism of spallation reaction and the double differential cross sections of emitted neutrons are studied. It is found that the different Skyrme interactions influence the low energy part of spectrum of emitted neutrons. This effect decreases as incident energy becomes higher. The double differential cross sections of emitted neutrons are found to be in good agreement with experimental data when the Skyrme parameter set SkP is adopted.
