In particular, we will describe benchmarking of calculated cross sections against measurements; we will introduce a relativistically covariant version of JQMD, called R- JQMD, that features an improved ground-state initialization algorithm, and we will show heavyion charge-changing cross sections simulated with R-JQMD and

As a preparation for these long duration space missions it is important to ensure an excellent capability to evaluate

We have deduced the fragment isobaric yield distributions and moving frame angular distributions from these data. The fission cross sections decrease with increasing projectile energy and the heavy residue cross sections (which are much larger than previous counter measurements) increase. There is an unusual change in the fragment isobaric yield distributions in the reactions induced by 32 MeV/nucleon 40Ar and 44 MeV/nucleon 40Ar. We have used the symmetry properties of the moving frame distributions to show the relative time scale of the reaction mechanisms involved. The fission fragments associated with the peripheral collision peak in the folding angle distribution originate in a normal, slow fission process in which statistical equilibrium has been established. At the two lowest projectile energies, the fission fragments associated with the central collision peak in the folding angle distribution originate in part in fast, nonequilibrium processes. At the highest projectile energies, there are no fission fragments associated with high-momentum-transfer events. The intermediate mass fragments originate primarily in events in which statistical equilibrium has not been established.
