Re: increase in probability of particle production in N-N collisions

Dear Anna
If I understand correctly your question: as long as you make use of the
standard scoring of FLUKA
(usrbin, usrbdx, etc.), all the weighting due in case of biasing is performed
automatically and you do not need any
additional normalization.
Best regards
