Hi Alfredo,

Thanks for the reply, even if it seems discouraging...
What I would like to have is the distribution of nuclei recoil momenta,
in order to be able to compute damage energies. Is there a way to do
that, e.g. some combination of input cards insuring that Ekres,Px,y,zres
_are_ meaningful, or is it hopeless ?

Best regards,
