    Dear Joseph

    FLUKA generates eta particles in inelastic hadron-hadron collisions.
    However, etas are not transported, they are let to decay immediately. In
    the output, you'll see only decay products. This is true also when they
    are produced inside a nucleus, it means that the eta itself will never
    re-interact inside the nucleus, while its decay products can.
    Ciao
