Dear Riya,

I'd share your expectation if your photons were travelling in vacuum, but
their interactions with your air hemisphere depend on their energy.

Also, make sure that the statistical error of your fluence values is
reasonably low.

As a side note, in your source routine, when typing any real number put it
in double precision (e.g., 1.0D0/3.0D0, or - in this specific case - the
available FLUKA parameter ONETHI).

Kind regards
Francesco
