Dear Agnieszka,
have you added the LOW-MAT card to associate ARGONHP to the corresponding low-energy neutron cross-sections?
If this does not solve your problem, could you possibly send the input file or a minimal version of it in order to reproduce the crash?
Thanks, luigi

For that purpose I defined a new material with name "ARGONHP", with atomic number 18 and atomic weight 40 (the same as for default argon) and assigned it to MAT-PROP card and sphere filled with argon. Unfortunately, my simulation crashed, it is not running, even .err is not created.

Simulation crashed once again so my assumption is that the problem is with adding new material with the same atomic number and atomic weight as has the predefined one.
