Production of strange particles and hypernuclei in spallation reactions from the coupling of intranuclear cascade and de-excitation models

International audienceMotivated by a renewed interest in hypernucleus studies, the strangeness degreeof freedom was implemented in the intranuclear cascade model INCL. This modeltakes care of the first stage of reactions between a nucleon (or a lightcluster) and a nucleus at energies from a few tens of MeV up to a few GeV. Afteremission of fast particles, a hot remnant nucleus is produced and another model,combined to INCL, handles the de-excitation (the ABLA model in our case). Themain ingredients will be discussed and results will be compared to experimentaldata. The experimental kaon spectra for different target elements and atdifferent energies agree reasonable well with the model predictions. The mainremaining discrepancies are analysed and will be explained
