Dear FLUKA users,

Please find below a message on behalf of the CERN Management.

Best regards
Stefan


Dear FLUKA users,

Following the CERN-INFN joint message on 31 August 2019*, and the termination of the CERN-INFN agreement under which FLUKA has been distributed since 2003, CERN set up a framework for sustainable code maintenance, development and distribution of FLUKA.

As of today, the code approved and supported by CERN will be available at:

                                http://fluka.cern<http://fluka.cern/>

where, together with future collaborators, we will publish new releases according to a transparent and controlled lifecycle. CERN will therefore discontinue its support of www.fluka.org<http://fluka.cern> .

A modern forum has been created for assistance and exchange among users. It is available at:

                          http://cern.ch/fluka-forum

You are invited to sign up now in order to keep up to date on FLUKA and related matters.

The FLUKA binary packages, as well as the source code, are available under new licence conditions at http://fluka.cern<http://fluka.cern/> . The source code is downloadable by users whose scientific institutions sign the applicable licence agreement.

For data privacy protection reasons, your fluka.org<http://fluka.org/> credentials (fuid-NNN) cannot be automatically transferred to the new website. You are therefore kindly invited to follow a simple one-time registration procedure, which is explained at:

                      https://fluka.cern/download/registration


Together with FLUKA, a new version of Flair is now available at:

                                 http://cern.ch/flair

It features a substantial restructuring, based on python3. Our intention is that other simulation codes (such as PENELOPE, Geant4, ...) will be supported within the same interface in the near future.

Questions and issues will be followed up by the CERN team and all contributing partners at http://cern.ch/fluka-forum only.

Future FLUKA training courses supported by CERN will be announced via:

http://fluka.cern<http://fluka.cern/> and http://cern.ch/fluka-forum .

We look forward to working with the FLUKA community in preserving and enhancing the outstanding scientific record of FLUKA.

Kind regards,
The CERN FLUKA team
