Abstract: Geant4 native pre-equilibrium and de-excitation models are used for sampling of residual nucleus fragmentation in a number of generators of inelastic hadron/ion interaction with nuclei including QGS, FTF, Binary Cascade, QMD and some others.The pre-compound model is responsible for pre-equlibrium emission of protons, neutrons and light ions.The de-excitation model provides sampling of evaporation of neutrons, protons and light fragments up to magnesium, Fermi break-up, statistical multifragmentation, fission and photon emission.Recently a review of the pre-equilibrium and de-excitation models of Geant4 has been performed and we report a summary of modifications introduced.The results of the validation versus various published data are presented.
