Benchmarking Ten Codes Against the Recent GSI Measurements of the   Nuclide Yields from 208Pb, 197Au, and 238U + p Reactions at 1 GeV/nucleon
  A qualitative and quantitative comparison of the recent GSI measurements of the nuclide yields from 208Pb and 238U at 1 GeV/nucleon and 197Au at 800 MeV/nucleon interactions with protons with the codes LAHET (with both ISABEL and Bertini options), CEM95, CEM97, CEM2k, CASCADE, CASCADE/INPE, YIELDX, HETC, and INUCL is presented. The predictive power of these codes is reasonable for nuclides in the near spallation region but is worse for deep spallation and much worse in the fission region. None of these codes agree well with the data in the whole mass region of product nuclides and all must be improved to become reliable tools for accelerator-driven applications.
