Joel,
Without seeing the input I cannot give advice nor try myself different
settings (both for physics and scoring)
Could you please post all replies to the fluka-discuss list. Otherwise, it
is difficult and inefficient to keep track of replies. In addition,
answers might also be of interest to other users.
thanks,
Stefan
