Based on the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) transport model coupled with a phase-space coalescence afterburner, the spallation reaction p + 197Au at the incident beam energy Ebeam = 800 MeV/nucleon is studied. We find that the number of test particles per nucleon has minor effects on the neutron-to-proton ratio (n/p) of the produced heavier fragments while it affects much their yields. The external strong magnetic field affects the production of heavier fragments more than the n/p of produced fragments. The n/p of free nucleons is greatly affected by the strong magnetic field, especially for the nucleons with lower energies.
