Here it is necessary to point out that, at present, FLUKA can generate scintillation lines only for monochromatic lines. A maximum number of 3 different lines is possible. The value inserted here (128 nm) is the correct one for Liquid Argon. The fraction of deposited energy going into scintillation light depends on the degree of recombination after ionisation. Again, the value used here is a parameter justified in the framework of the Icarus collaboration, where about 20000 photons/MeV of deposited energy have been measured for the electric field of 500 V/cm (the field used in Icarus). A different electric field intensity will change the degree of recombination and therefore the light yield.
