Hello experts,
I attached my input file. Now muon production is possible but it is not
correct spectrum.
I don't know MUCARLO but if you sent the code I can try to understand. Or
where can I find the code?
And just I want to simulate the positron annihilation to muon. Is it
possible with MUCARLO?
Thanks for your advance.
