Abstract
A quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) model is applied to production of light charged particles in nucleon-induced reactions on several light and medium heavy nuclei. The generalized evaporation model (GEM) is used to deal with the statistical decay process of highly excited fragments at the end of the QMD stage. Good agreement with experimental double-differential cross sections is obtained for nucleon emission, but the calculation shows remarkable underprediction for preequilibrium emission of light complex particles, i.e., d, t, 3He, and 4He. To improve the situation, a phenomenological surface coalescence model is incorporated into the QMD simulation under the assumption that light complex particles are mainly formed near the surface region by a leading nucleon that is ready to escape from the nucleus during the dynamical process.
