Hi Alessandro,

that message means that in the current event the energy scored
is larger than the maximum of the distribution as you have defined it
in input. In other words, the calculated bin number is > 1024.
In your case, judging from the 1461kev001.err file you have
attached, ALL events are overflowing the histogram, meaning that
the energy deposited in each event is always larger than 2024 keV, the
maximum you have defined.

The message is not fatal: FLUKA will print that message up to 99 times,
and then will ignore further overflows. Of course, the overflowing events w=
ill
not contribute to the final distribution.
