Re: Questions about EM interactions and scoring

Dear Michele

1) With defaults PRECISIO or via the EMFLUO card fluorescence emissions
can be activated for all reactions where FLUKA explicitly predicts an
atomic vacancy, presently for photelectric effect and Compton scattering.
Please note that FLUKA does not yet include fluorescence emissions induced
by electrons/positrons or other charged particles.

2) There is no option for next event estimation available in FLUKA.
However, you could define a fine fluence USRBIN mesh and put a fit through
results of neighboring bins offline(?)

Cheers
Stefan
