Comparison of the 1A ${\mathrm{GeV}}^{197}$Au+C interaction with first-stage transport codes

The properties of the remnant resulting from the emission of prompt particles in the interaction of $1A\mathrm{GeV}\mathrm{}{}^{197}\mathrm{A}\mathrm{u}+\mathrm{C}$ interactions have been compared with intranuclear cascade and Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenback transport calculations. The number of first-stage particles and the energy spectra of first-stage protons are also compared. Both models can fit the general but not the detailed features of the data.
