Re: [fluka-discuss]: Optical boundaries

Hi Viktor,
    for scintillation light in FLUKA, for the moment, only monochromatic
photons are considered, with a maximum of 3 different lines.

Optical photons are treated differently from the high energy photons and
from the other particles: for example it is not possible to use them as
primary particles nor it is possible to define them in a source.f
routine and assign their energy.

However, you can perhaps try a non-standard source_opt.f routine,
as suggested in this old message in the forum:

http://www.fluka.org/web_archive/earchive/new-fluka-discuss/3272.html

This might suit your needs.

Cheers,
Andrea
