Dear FLUKA experts,

I would like to simulate optical UV photons that hit a material.
As far as I understood by using the OPT-PROP card I can
define optical properties at a given material like its
reflectivity. Like the example in the manual:

Example 2:

  * Material 11 has a reflectivity index =3D 0.32
  *...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
  OPT-PROP<http://www.fluka.org/fluka.php?id=man_onl&sub=58>
  0.0 0.0 0.32 11.0 0.0 0. METAL

BUT if the surface is not specular (specular = such a glass or polished metal),
the reflectivity is uniform ( Lambertian reflectance).
Is this property implemented in FLUKA?
Since most real objects have some mixture of diffuse and specular reflective properties,
could you have any suggestion how I could proceed?

Thank you very much in advance

Best regards

Georgios
