We present a cascade model to study the measurable consequences of Δ isobars inside a nucleus. We compare the outcome of simulations with observed events from charge exchange reactions on a carbon target. We see that the inclusive energy-transfer spectrum shows differences between model and experiment, when free Δ parameters are used. By changing parameters for the Δ in the formation process to better describe the inclusive spectrum, the gross features of the decay pattern including the energy-transfer spectra for each of the observed event classes are reasonably well accounted for.
