Comparison of macroscopic and microscopic calculations of high-energy /sup 20/Ne + /sup 238/U collisions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
For the reaction /sup 20/Ne + /sup 238/U at a laboratory bombarding energy per nucleon of 250 MeV we calculate the cross section d/sup 2/sigma/dEd..cap omega.. for outgoing protons using four different approaches. These are relativistic fluid dynamics, classical many-body calculations with a hard-sphere nucleon-nucleon potential, and two versions of relativistic intranuclear-cascade calculations. These calculations reproduce some features of the experimental data, but some major discrepancies remain.
