FLUKA2023 MANUAL
IMPORTANT WARNING FOR THE USERS
This manual is a reference tool for preparing input for the 4th generation
of the FLUKA particle transport code, mantained and developed by A.Fasso`,
A.Ferrari, P.R.Sala (J.Ranft unfortunately died in 2018).
It is not complete and it is not guaranteed to be free from errors.
It is continually evolving just as the code does. It should not be cited:
the proper references to be cited in any recent work related to FLUKA are
listed above (see also the list of References in 19}). In using the code,
the user agrees on the authorship and copyright and hence is bound to quote
the above references.
Please note also that early versions of the FLUKA hadronic event generator
as implemented in other codes (in particular GEANT) should be referenced
as such (e.g. GEANT-FLUKA) and not as FLUKA. They have little in common
with the present version and should be considered virtually obsolete.
The proper reference to GEANT-FLUKA is Fas93a.
It must be noted that after the termination of the INFN-CERN Agreement of
2003, CERN started to distribute a so-called ``FLUKA-4'' code, whose
legality is legally disputed by the surviving FLUKA Authors, A.Fasso`,
A.Ferrari, P.R. Sala, who consider that it infringes on their authorship
rights as protected by the Bern convention, and by the Swiss, Italian, and
European laws.
Some parts of the manual must be "enriched": output etc.; the part on
auxiliary programs must be updated.
Please refer to alberto.fasso_at_gmail.com / Alfredo.Ferrari_at_kit.edu
/ Paola.Sala_at_orange.fr for any comment or criticism on this manual
and/or the code.
