Dear User

Fluka does not have exactly the same "forced collision" feature as Phits
and/or Mcnp6, but it has a very similar option allowing to shorten at will
the interaction length for all particles, or only some, for all
generations, or only for primaries, for all materials, or only some.

This is the LAM-BIAS option, please look at the description in the manual.
