“…These upper limits amount to roughly 1 GeV/nucleon, and even the adequacy of this number has uncertainty to it (Ref. 24, p. 162) since enough experiments have not been done to substantiate the theory; hence, we give only one upper limit, rather than both an "adequate" and a " best" upper limit.…”

In this tutorial paper we discuss the High Energy Transport (HETC)iLight Heavy Ion (LHI)/Spallation Gamma Source (SGS) Monte Carlo radiation transport computer code system, used to transport nucleons, pions, muons, photons, and "light heavy" nuclei with 2 < A < 10 through complex materials and geometries. In particular, we present for the first time in a single place a comprehensive, introductory discussion of HETC/LHI/SGS code physics.

“…2. The major codes are the SAIC version [5] of HETC [6] for nucleon-meson transport, EGS [7] for simulating electromagnetic cascades, MORSE [8] for low-energy ( < 20 MeV) neutron transport, and the GAMA code [9] for de-excitation y-ray spectra from spallation collisions. The simulations follow the transport history of photons in the energy range from -100 GeV down to -0.1 keV due to gamma-ray sources from neutral pion decay, high-energy (spallation) collisions, and low-energy neutron inelastic scattering and capture reactions.…”
