Dear Lawrence,

you have the TITLE card empty, and for some reason FLUKA reads the BEAM
card as the title of your simulation. Therefore instead of running with
electrons of 13.5MeV you are running with protons of 200GeV.
If you fill the title card with some text then it works as you would expect.

Best Regards
Vasilis
