Dear Fluka users

a new respin of Fluka2020.0, fluka2020.0.7, is available on the web site
at http://www.fluka.org.

This respin fixes the following issues:

- a problem with very high energy (> LHC cms energy) Electro Magnetic
  Dissociation events which could have resulted in (almost) infinite loops
- a rare problem for neutrons around 21 MeV in carbon
- an issue wiht 6-Li/nat-Li groupwise cross sections which are
  systematically ill-processed by all versions of Njoy, 2016 included

The respin contains also several enhancements/additions in the neutron
cross section library:

- Phosphorus, Vanadium, Manganese, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zirconium
  (including all individual Zr isotopes present in the library),
  230-Th, and 232-Th are now all processed out of the latest Endf/b-viiir0
  evaluation. In all cases the latest version of Njoy2016 has been used.
- Neon, Molybdenum (including all individual Mo isotopes present in the
  library), Tungsten are now processed out of Tendl-19, again using
  Njoy2016 (previous versions of Njoy are uncapable of processing new
  formats for the resonance region, present in many recent evaluation,
  eg 63-Cu and 65-Cu).
- All Iron isotopes, which were already from Endf/b-viiir0, have been
  reprocessed with Njoy2016
- 56-Fe infinitely diluted and self-shielded is available, besides
  natural Iron.
- Manganese, Cobalt, and Nickel are available also self-shielded.
- 232-Th and 239-Pu are available also fully self-shielded.
- Iron and Nickel are also available from the older Endf/b-viir1
  evaluation. Endf/b-viiir0 and Endf/b-viir1 differ quite a bit above
  5-10 MeV which will likely impact some calculations. Given that
  the Endf/b-viiir0 Fe and Ni evaluations are now model-driven
  and thoroughly cross-checked mostly at reactor energies it is
  unclear how much the significant differences seen in the neutron
  transmission through thick Iron/Nickel slabs above 5-10 MeV are
  fully justified.
- 6-Li processing, which is buggy at low energies versus partial
  channels with all versions of Njoy, has been fixed by hand.

As usual assistance will be provided only for the latest respin.

          Have fun and stay safe!
