Abstract :
[en] The INCL (Intranuclear Cascade Liège) code has been developed and utilized for many years. Its primary goal is to simulate interactions between light projectiles and various types of nuclei within an energy range from a few tens of MeV to 10-20 GeV. To achieve this, it must be combined with a de-excitation code, most commonly the ABLA code. Both INCL and ABLA are also integrated into the Geant4 particle transport code. Additionally, different versions of INCL are available in other codes such as PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System) and GENIE (Generates Events for Neutrino Interaction Experiments). The latest advancement in INCL is its ability to simulate antiproton-nucleus reactions, from at rest up to approximately 10 GeV. This topic will be presented here, with a focus on the low-energy domain, including details on implementation methods (hypotheses and ingredients) and results obtained (comparisons with experimental data). As the antineutron is currently being implemented, this subject will also be addressed. The next step involves extending this capability to antideuterons, antitritons, etc., and very preliminary results for antideuterons are presented as well.
