SPOTBEAM



 The SPOTBEAM card is used in conjunction with SPOTDIR, SPOTPOS, SPOTTIME,
 and SPOTTRAN to define multiple beam spots. A new primary is created randomly 
 in any of the listed beam spots according to their respective weight
 or in sequential order (see SPECSOUR).

 Warning : These five cards are activated by indicating 
SDUM
= BEAMSPOT in the SPECSOUR card. Barring this, the spot cards will be discarded. See also SPOTDIR, SPOTPOS, SPOTTIME, SPOTTRAN
WHAT(1)
!=0.0 : particle id (Paprop) or A + 1000 Z + 100000 m for heavy ion beams = 0.0 : particle id as per BEAM card =-99999: special code for printout (see what(6))
Default
: 0.0
WHAT(2)
> 0.0 : Beam laboratory momentum (GeV/c) (total, not per nucleon!) < 0.0 :
