Extension of TALYS to 1 GeV

One of the latest features of the TALYS nuclear reaction model code is described: the extension to higher energies. The Koning-Delaroche optical model potential from 2003 has been extended by two simple terms for the volume real and imaginary potentials. The resulting predictions have been tested against available experimental data above 200 MeV and now seem to provide reasonable results up to about 1 GeV. By means of logarithmic binning of the multiple decay scheme in TALYS it is now also possible to calculate non-elastic channels at higher energies. Emission spectra have not yet been validated, but preliminary results for residual production cross sections are shown.
