Dear Sunil,
the energy threshold for Heavy Ions for BOTH primary particles and
secondary particles is 10 MeV/n.

The concept of threshold for primary particles is used in the manual just
to remind to the users to use a primary beam energy higher than the
transport threshold in order to simulate a meaningful history.

For the moment, you cannot perform residual nuclei calculation with fluka
for 10MeV/n alpha beam.

Ciao
Andrea
