MCNP6 -- A New Simulation Tool for FRIB Applications

During the last decade, we have developed at LANL improved codes of the Cascade-Exciton Model (CEM) and of the Los Alamos version of the Quark-Gluon String Model (LAQGSM) to describe reactions induced by particles and nuclei. We have tested our CEM and LAQGSM codes against a large variety of experimental data on particle-particle, particle-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus reactions and have compared their results with predictions by other models. The latest versions of our codes, CEM03.02 and LAQGSM03.03, have been incorporated recently as event generators in MCNP6, the latest and most advanced LANL transport code representing a merger of MCNP5 and MCNPX, which can be a useful tool for FRIB simulations. Here, we present a brief description of CEM03.02 and LAQGSM03.03 and several illustrative results by MCNP6 with our event generators for both thin and thick targets of interest to FRIB.
