Re: [fluka-discuss]: Difference between FHEAVY and GENSTK

Dear Paola,

First I would like to thank you for your help.

For this reaction, I obtain this 2 plots for primaries and secondaries alphas (those from fast stage reaction and secondaries from break up of Be).
It is really strange, I have a strong anisotropy for primary alphas (plots in attachment png files).

It looks like a problem of angle distribution. I never saw that in a MC code. Have you got an idea?
And moreover, the incident protons are not monoenergetic (read from source.f with energies from 1 to 40MeV with divergence of 700mrad).

Sorry but I have also some questions about cross sections. We want to publish scientific paper with comparsion between experimental and Fluka simulation results but we have to have access to cross sections. Even if it is not an easy way, can we obtain that with simulations?

And about cross sections, we work in plasma. Have we got a mean to implement cross sections in plasma medium (because cross sections in FLUKA are calculated at ambiant temperature I guess).

Thank you again
Julien

Dear Julien,
In fluka, the reaction you describe can proceed through different paths,
also depending on proton energy:
- There can be alpha emission in the fast stage of the reaction
(preequilibrium) through the coalescence mechanism, followed by break-up
of the Beryllium nucleus
- There can be direct break-up of the compound nucleus into
alpha+berillyum, followed instantaneously by berillyum disintegration

In both cases, the 8B can be its ground or excited state.

I wrote break-up, not evaporation, because Fluka uses fermi break-up for
A<=16.

Alphas from the fast stage are stored in GENSTCK
Alphas from break-up are in FHEAVY

Be sure to use the fluka2020 version, which includes an advanced
descriprion of this specific reaction.

Hope this helps
Paola
