Re: Scintillation counting

Dear Oleg,

production and transport of scintillation photons are possible in
FLUKA, but the user needs to provide most of the necessary information.

Production is requested by command OPT-PROD (see the manual) with
SDUM = SCINTILL, indicating a maximum of 3 single emission energies
(alternately SDUM = SCINT-WV, indicating a maximum of 3 photon wavelengths,
or SDUM = SCINT-OM, indicating a maximum of 3 photon angular frequencies).
The user must give, per material, the fraction of deposited energy going into
the 3 photon energies/wavelengths/frequencies and the time constant of
scintillation light

Optical photon transport is regulated by command OPT-PROP. The user must
provide various optical quantities (refraction index, absorption coefficient
etc.) as a function of material. Several user routines are available
to define them. See on the manual the full description of the command and a few
examples.
