Hello!
I would like to add a comment: you can define the liquid argon as LIQARGON
(with the MATERIAL card, where you can also input the right argon density),
the essential thing is that you associate to this material the correct low
energy neutron cross sections via the LOW-MAT card (as Sunil wrote). Consider
that if you use the name ARGON without using the LOW-MAT card FLUKA will take
(somebody can correct me) the first ARGON material in the list 10.4.1.2, which
is natural argon at 296K (I think you should prefere the available data set at
87K).
Best regards,
Anna
