Abstract

To provide the computer simulation support to the new experimental facilities BM@N and MPD at the accelerator complex NICA we performed an upgrade of the Monte Carlo generator DCM-QGSM and developed a new generator, DCM-SMM, on the basis of the Dubna cascade model (DCM). The generators aimed to simulate particle–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions in a wide range of energy and thus can serve as an effective tool for analysis of physical effects. A particularity of the generators is their capability to simulate nuclear fragments.
