Hello Bruny,
A=59 can be a product of protons incident on Fe-58.
I suppose you are correct about the AGESEC=0 criteria for your problem, but I'm not absolutely sure. May be someone else can comment on this.

Subject: Re: [fluka-discuss]: using fluka as an event generator, where are the ions?
Dear George,
thanks for the input. Indeed, I didn’t put the right inp file (the right one is attached)… Sorry for that.
Indeed if there are other isotopes that might explain some heavier stuff than Fe56 that could explain most of them. However I’m still intrigued by the A=59 since I’ve normally set things so that secondaries don’t interact after creation with the usrmed.f modification, unless I didn’t do it properly.
Particles that can interact after creation should at a point have a AGESEC variable with non zero value right? So far, all mine have AGESEC=0.
Cheers,
Bruny

Also, keep in mind that you are using natural iron as your target, which contains some Fe-57 and Fe-58, in addition to Fe-56 and Fe-54.

>>
>> Hi and thanks!
>> concerning the User Liscence , I want to generate events p/gamma+Nuclei over a subGeV-TeV range for Cosmic Ray acceleration and propagation studies. It indeed uses a home made code but no piece of Fluka code and would not make accessible the details of the underlying codes (I think!) and has already been used with outputs of some of the underlying hadronic codes within Fluka. I don’t think this goes out of the scope of the licence but I would of course ask written permission if you think it’s necessary. After some search and discussions with colleagues, it appeared to me that fluka is the most (only?) reliable software mixing all the interaction models for this kind of purpose...
>> So comes my next question, is there a way to produce forced interaction without propagation of secondaries but with storage of their characteristics?
>> So far I’ve been trying to get those by playing with found simple examples of beam+target.
>> Thanks to your post I can now retrieve secondary nuclei with fluka ids=-9…-1 (by the way I’m not sure to have understood from the manual Chap5 the -9…-7 ones ) .
>> Given the unsatifactory way I do this, I naively at some point have put a high density of Fe to boost interaction rate. Of course it also make interactions of secondaries and so on (useless for me) more likely. I have retrieved some wanted interactions by selecting LTRACK=2 but that’s very inefficient way to say the least.
