Dear Alec,

polarisation is taken into account for photons only
(for all other particles the polarisation vector is set to a default
meaning no polarisation).

Kind regards

Francesco

However the summary description of the physics only mentions propagation of photon polarisation. Are polarisation effects in neutron generation and propagation included in FLUKA?
