Dear Simon,
If I understand correctly, you would like
A) a line source (delta-like, i.e. no lateral spatial extension) along an arbitrary direction. I assume positions are homogeneously distributed along this line?
B) particles should be emitted with a *polar* angle of 5 deg wrt the line source, while the *azimuthal* angle is isotropic? (I am not sure if this is what you mean with "a cone-shaped tube" ...)
I any case I am afraid such a source can only be realized by means of a source routine. I would recommend to look in the the FLUKA course material about source routine programming (
https://indico.cern.ch/event/334606/contribution/35/material/slides/0.pdf, starting from page 24).
The only variables you need to touch are the positions (X/Y/ZFLK(NPFLKA) = ...) and direction cosines (TXFLK(NPFLKA) = ...). The easiest is probably to implement your source along the z-axis and then perform a transformation of positions and direction cosines. For example in the following way (for simplicity I just use dummy coordinates, which can then be assigned to the designated variables):
* Position sampling along the z-axis
X = 0
Y = 0
Z = homogeneous or whatever sampling
* Direction cosine sampling around the z-axis
TX = ...
TY = ...
TZ = ...
* Transforming from z-axis to arbitrary axis via ROT-DEFI cards defined in the input file (with rotation index NROT)
CALL UNDOTR ( 1, X, Y, Z, NROT )
CALL UNDRTO ( 1, TX, TY, TZ, NROT )
You can pass the rotation index via one of the WHATs of the source card, e.g.:
NROT = INT(WHASOU(1))
Hope this helps!
Cheers, Anton

Dear Anton,
The source line should be arbitrary, not along the z-aixs(or x/y). the emission angle of 5 degree is relative to the line , therefore, the source should be a cone-shaped tube but ont a certain direction.

Dear Simon,
Please be more precise what kind of source you want. I understand that you want a source along a line, but:
* Should this be along an arbitrary direction?
* What about the emission angle wrt the line source?
(in your first email you mention an angle of 5 degrees: is this the emission angle wrt the line or the angle between line and z-axis?)
Cheers, Anton

Hi, everyone!
I'm wondering how can I use the SOURCE.f to set a linear source? could someone give me an example to help me out of there?
