models – QCD, strings, chiral perturbation theory, statistical collective
• Only thin-target data used for verification • Final states determined by sampling theoretical
distributions• Philosophy implies the usage physics lists, providing
wanted collection of models, such as:– Parton string models at high energies, – intra-nuclear transport models at intermediate energies, and– statistical break-up models for de-excitation

quark exchange• Decay of excited hadronic systems is treated as the fusion of two quark-
partons within the system• Includes non-relativistic phase space of nucleons to explain evaporation

parameterized models for inelastic scattering.

reactions of s, Ks, and nucleons• for primaries with E starting at ~ 12
GeV, dominant above 30 GeVIt employs – Quark Gluon String Model
• for the 'punch-through' interactions of the projectile
– A Pre-equilibrium decay model • with an extensive evaporation
phase that model the nucleus 'after the punch‘
– For other energies uses LHEP models
• QGSC, is similar to QGSP but uses CHIPS for fragmentation
– The CHiral Invariant Phase-Space decay (CHIPS)
– QGS now starts at 9 GeV
• FTFP starts with QGSP and replaces the string
– with a diffractive string excitation • similar to that in FRITJOF, and
the Lund fragmentation functions.
• Note: A (g – nuclear) interactions recently added to all options.
– Previously available as _GN variants, eg QGSP_GN
